Default Fender chop stock looking fender wells

Hey guys I know there's about a thousand fender chop threads but is there any way to keep the stock look in the fender well? I want to cover the pinch seam and have protection for the engine. The bushwacker flares do a goo job of this. Anybody figure out a way to do it for cheap?

Thanks

I kept mine, but it need some elbow grease ^^

I cutted mine flush to the body, then took a slice of rubber truck mud flap, some clips and screws. It's not the best looking but it gets the job done.

I used a heat gun and softened the factory liner. Folded it over trimmed off excess and used a sheet metal screw to re secure it.

Watch the fender install on YouTube by newerejk. Search -stock to rock-
It shows how to perfectly cut the inner liner. I did that and attached the bottom to the body mount, after drilling one hole, with a fender washer and nut. Use an exacto knife on the liner and a jigsaw, saws all, and or a cut off blade like a dremel on the fenders and supports. Finish off with sand paper. Take your time!!!focus on straight cuts.

I did mine, just taped out everything and took a skill saw to my fenders and put some edging on it from autozone and they came out pretty nice
