Those look great Gunner... just like mine. I just finished RE-installing my front Husky guards. As we discussed, the front ones stick out too far using the factory drilled holes (See below). Didn't like that look at all.

So I took them off and drilled new holes 9/16" towards the outer edge of the guard (See below). Holes are hard to see because I used a much smaller drill bit, but they're there). Then I got some black painted sheet metal screws to replace the two washered screws that came with the guards (couldn't get the washers off), for the screws that go in the metal fender itself. Reused the lower two torque-heads that go into the plastic inner fender.

It took me about 20 minutes to do each side. I measured and drilled carefully. Have you tackled yours yet?
