    I installed a set of Bushwacker oe black fender flares yesterday and today. It was fairly easy except for the damn humidity here.

    These are the smaller or flares and I installed Xpel 3/4 inch clear door edge guard under the rubber flare trim thanks to a tip from another member. The tape conformed to the shape easily and went down without any bubbles.

    I installed the flares yesterday and the clear edge tape today. Since the flares sat overnight I think it helped the rubber form to the fender and flare and stay in place better when I took them off to put on the clear edge tape this morning.

    I traced the fender rubber edge using a sharp grease pencil. I pinched it between my thumb and finger as a guide and followed the fender edge. After I was done it wiped right off. I saw another video on youtube where they used tape to outline the rubber edge but that would take a lot longer.
