Curious

So I'm just curious about a couple things ....been trying for the last week to find info but no luck so I'll post .....has any one tried to modify the rear sr5 mud flaps to fit the front since toyota discontinued them for the black sr5 trim and has any one removed the flares all the way around and just painted where the flares are supposed to be? Thought about doing that since my flares rubbed pretty bad through the paint almost down to bare metal. ..left a nice groove so I thought about leaving the flares off and just using quality black paint and painting that spot ...bad idea or not ? And if no one has attempted to use the rear flaps on the front I may be the first to at least try to make it work since I can get the rears very cheap locally

I don't know of anyone that used the rears for the front but I doubt it would be hard, give it a try and post some pics. No, I wouldn't remove your flares because they leave holes in the body which you would need to close. I definitely wouldn't repaint your high quality paint yourself.. Unless you do the whole thing in like bedliner.

True, for the limited or sport flares. The sr5 skinny chromes, or the `highlander` blacks, don't leave any holes.

If you had put some/any info into the Title of this thread alluding to what it was about, you would probably have fewer views, but more useful replies.

Didn't really think on the title much ....sorry about that...as far as paint since I have no holes in the body I was thinking of painting imitation flares to cover up the rub points and it would be bedliner and on second thought prolly a bad idea because it would leave a lip going from stock paint to bedliner since the bedliner is thick ....and thanks guys for inputs very much appreciated
