Well the flares came in yesterday. Unfortunately I'm on 2nd shift now, so they will have to wait til at least the weekend. I don't think my neighbors would like me using powertools after midnight haha.

 

Well I got the fronts on today. Turned out pretty good, I think!

I'll get better pictures tomorrow during the day, and when i finish up the rears.

 

Here are a few pictures of it done, any questions, i'll try to answer!

 

Lookin good!

 

looks great! I've always liked the look of the flats

 

Thanks guys.

A few things I did different than the instructions (didn't get pics) were
1: On the back, I added a little silicone to the screw threads that use the spacer and a hole you had to drill with no access to the back of it. Mainly for added protection from moisture.
2: Up front where they said to cut horizontal lines and fold the metal towards the doors, I just cut it all off. I think they wanted that there just incase you planned on keeping the factory wheel well inserts.

one BIG recommendation for anyone doing these, pass on the cutoff wheel. You will need it for a few small parts, but my dad seen me using the cut off wheel and he said to use tin snips instead. It worked WAY better and faster.

Wish i would have added some silicone to the bottom plastic expanding screw things to seal them up, but i think i can get to those by removing the interior back side panels.

Also it fit just about perfect with the snorkel I have. The red tape crap that sticks to the flares, they recommend pulling 1-2 inches out on one side to be able to adhere the flare to the fender a bit easier. I ended up doing it at both ends for the snorkel side just incase it broke in the middle. Ended up almost tearing, but worked out perfect!

I also used a straight edge, and some snap clamps to follow the line of the flare up front, and then used mapp gas to heat a razor and used the straight edge as a guide. Came or really nice IMO.

 

Use stock flares and bumpstop

 

Boost Happy, The openings for the fenders weren't big enough unless i wanted absolutly no up travel at all. Just driving around the streets, and going up the entrances to new houses or businesses, they would rub or be really close to rubbing. I really do like stock flares though...

 

Cut fenders, and run Flexy flares. That is what I am going to do.
You will still need to bumpstop a bit, and probably remove your front bumper plastics.

 

Looks great.. i am running 5-5.5" lift and you've just encouraged me to run 35s for my next set of tires. Just curious tho why does your rear tire look off centered?

 

Bumpstopped with trimmed stock flares, plenty of up travel, no rub with 35s

 

Ahh i missed the trimmed stock flare part. What exactly did you trim with the stock ones?

 

Not to sure, might be because i gotta lower the rear a little bit or something. I'll go out and take a look when the rain stops. I know it sits a bit closer towards the front, but that pic really shows it haha.

 

trimmed fenders up to flare mounting holes. Ttimmed flares up to the plastic casting line thats seen from rear.

 

Ahh alright. Looks good!
