I removed my front flares today and was wondering what you guys use to fill in the gap between your fender and frame/door area?

I left it that way. Some people use those water noodle things. You can cut them to size and stuff them in there.

The pool noodle also stops mud from spraying in the gap when going doorless.

Ok thanks guys, pool noodle it is. O one more thing do you think that 1.5 inch wheel spacers on canyon rims and a 11.5 wide tire will stick the tires out to far past the fenders?

I'd suggest at least the pool noodle idea. I'm currently thinking of something to fill that void, because my driver side door hinge creeks and squeaks like a mofo since that plastic thing is gone.
