exit34rocker1017 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 i took off my fender flares, and now i want to fill in the holes with body filler and paint my fenders. i have new cheap rubber flares that i wanna throw on there, but they arent big enough to cover the holes so i have to fill them. can anyone let me know how to fill them? what do i need to make it look good? or, do the 96-99 front fenders fit 99.5-04? i noticed most of the older ones dont have flares or holes! that would be a quick swap if it was possible. i am inexperienced and would love advice! thanks!

nunya Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Personally I would weld them shut, just goo-ing filler in there will eventually pop out after some abuse and road rash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekazgtr1984 Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 For the quarter panels you'll want to consider welding, for the reason nunya just pointed out. As for the fenders up front, you could source cheap ones and get 'em painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exit34rocker1017 Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share Posted May 22, 2010 maybe i worded it wrong, but i dont need to fill in the back, just the front fenders. so will 96-99 fenders without holes fit on my 1999.5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekazgtr1984 Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 AFAIK the fenders are the from '96-'04. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northernpathy Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Welded mine when I installed the new fenders as I didn't want the flares back on. Flares might look nice, but they mainly keep mud/dirt/water between them and the fender causing a lot of rust. http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=25558&view=findpost&p=474456 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01silvapathy Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Thats what im probably going to have to do once I get 35's. The only thing I would have a problem with again is painting them back to the stock color, might cost a pretty penny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
