    I'm installing a set of Fiberwerx fenders and I hit a snag. Fenders are on and I got them as close as I think I can. The issue is the bumper caps. When I align them with the fenders they're too short to reach the holes where the clips would push through. For those that have done the install how did you get the caps mounted? I can get some pictures if needed when I get home.

    Any Tundra Ive ever seen with glass fenders had an aftermarket, hi clearance front bumper. Never seen anyone attempt to use the stock bumper and caps.
    I thought stock bumper would not be possible considering the fenders are wider than the stock setup- cant match up. So if you install the factory bumper, it would sit inside the fender line, not flush like the stock fenders.

    Maybe you can make a spacer of sorts to get the end caps spaced out to the new fenders?

    They aren't the stock caps. The Fiberwerx come in pieces, the fender then caps to match.

    I'll post some pics as soon as I get home tonight
