    Hey y'all, got my OE style Bushwacker fender flares installed over the weekend. Great quality. Very satisfied with the fitment. 100% perfect? No. I did have to bust out the Dremel it a couple spots. I added 1" clear 3M paint protection under each one after hearing how important it is from another member here. The raw finish is good, not super texturey and not glossy either.

    Tips:
    Follow the directions. They aren't the most thorough but still very helpful.
    Install on a hot day, the flares are easier to work with when warm, a heat gun is your friend.
    Be prepared to Dremel / file / shave a little here and there in tight spots.
    After removing a few screws, loosely mount a flare with one or two screws and use some tape to outline where paint protection film should go (see pic).
    The rubber seal trim is tricky, be patient, make sure the flare edge sits IN the rubber seal. I had only a few inches left over.
    The curve around the gas door is the trickiest spot. Make sure you really bend/arch the seal into place or it ends up not laying flat against the body.

    Fender flares protect my fenders from gravel damage – my mud flaps protect your windshield from gravel damage.

    Stock, for now.
    What size lift/ tire area you running? 295-70? It looks perfect with those flares! I have FNBFD in my garage but I'm back and forth on tire size since i want to run a modest fender flare as well. Im looking to you for inspiration haha
