Heat gun to follow the curve of the wheel well cutout, then slit and overlap to transition toward the body at the ends. I tried heat forming those parts but it was not looking good. I have some build pics if you want to see them.

Lol not really. I destroyed my set of bushwackers I like these better anyway, the lawn edging should give way instead of shatter like the $400 product.

I like the flare, not the squared off mounting on the side of the fender tho.
