Looks good! If I may offer a piece of advise though. If you think it's will be a little while before you build your permanent flares, pull the plastic off and run a bead of body seam sealer along the outside between the flare and the fender, and also cover the welds (more specifically the gaps) on the inside of the fender. With vibration and everything the paint won't seal that seam and it will hold water and rust it out from the inside.
