Fender chop question

[Generoller]

For those that have done a fender chop, What did you do with the exposed brackets? Leave them or cut them off? Do i need them if o end up going with an aftermarket fender?

also, is there a way to mask or get rid of the white fender clips? I think they look crappy from the pics i have seen out there. Not sure if there are replacement black ones out there. If so, can someone please provide a link? Thank you

For the exposed brackets if you watch @Tech Tim from @Northridge4x4 video on their joose giveaway jeep fender liner install, he mentions taking off a small portion of the front of it to make it more flush. I’ve also seen videos of dudes just yeeting it out of there.
As for the white clips I have no idea. My jeep is black so I’ve wondered the same thing because I plan to fender chop mine! I did think maybe rivnuts would work but with those notches in the fender for the clips I have no idea if that would work.

**EDIT: They do make different colored clips. I totally forgot I have black clips. You can get them on Amazon.

Bent them up and down until they broke off and painted. Used American Adventure Lab black hardware
kit. Ignore the cable clamps and unsightly wiring.

X2 on the replace the plastic clips with steel hardware. Use fender washers under the bolt head for a little more support on the flare.

I left the support brackets on and just painted them and the frame black. I also have the AAL retention hardware like @Terrymo
