Hi Everyone,
I am new to the forum, I have an 06 KJ Sport, silver, mostly stock, and I am thinking of spicing it up a little.
I would like to remove my fenders and paint them black, but I have a question about what type of hardware to use. I have seen people replace the plastic rivets and hooks with metal bolts, and originally thought that was a great idea, very strong and available, until my wife pointed out that perhaps the clips are plastic to create a better point of failure for the flairs. After all, I'd rather replace a whole bunch of plastic clips then an entire flare or even worse have to replace a quarter panel.
I'm sorry if this question has already been asked, I searched the forums and couldn't find it.
Thanks
-Nate
