looks awesome! 
did you drill through the fenders or just underneath? if you did just go underneath... hows the hold? one more... since you went from no flares to flares, how far do they stick out? looks like about a 1/2 inch... im thinkin about doing these myself cos my tires are offset just enough to look sick but also fling water and mud up onto my doors

Without taking a measurement I would say they stick out about a 1/2".My Roush wheels stick out quite a bit as well so my tires sling mud and water on the side of my truck,the flares may help a little.
