Does anyone make fender flares that mount without using or seeing the rivets? James Duff had the area 51 flares in their old catalog, but not on their website..I don't know if they ever produced them..

>>> JD use to sell some 4" flares that had no exposed mounting hardware.......they were the "flexi-glass" version that were really more for street use.... the used a flexible glass & mat ,but were way stiffer than the "trail flex" 4" flares that are on crazy horse ... the were supposed to bring out a new version ,but it never happened yet....... here's a copy&paste from one of JD's pages>>>>>>>With trails getting harder and tires getting bigger, it was time to advance Duff's popular 4" flexi-glass flare to be able to handle the use of today's hardcore wheeler or urban driving abuse. Based on the same two-piece design as the original Trail Flex flare, we have built prototypes out of the same space-age poly that is used in Duff's top selling UFO flares. The smooth outer finish with no visible mounting screws makes for a grea look. They are ideal for a daily driver or wide tires and can be easily painted.

Look for the 4" Trail Flares to be released January 2008.

You could always go with a set of glass ones from Bronco Designs and use body panel adhesive to put them on. Not sure how it would hold up and you would have to do some slight filling where the holes are premolded in, but it might work.
