If you've done such things before, you won't need two people to install weatherstripping once you figure it out. It does take a bit of time, but once you figure it out, it goes much faster. It is necessary to wax the inside of the weatherstrip where it Better still, use clear vinyl, so dirt does not rub off onto the painted surface. So long as the Torx bolts don't rust or loosen up, I will be very happy. Edited to reflect the following The braces I wore for six months were taken off. There was paint scraping from the weatherstrip where it contacts the truck body! My good fortune was that my clearcoat kept it from going through. It was only a matter of using a polisher to fix. If you want to protect your paint, I recommend getting some 3m clear tape to put on the body sides where the flares (rubber strips) make contact with it.

Number of Conclusions- It has already been several years since I removed the emblems from my truck. In these cases, the HEMI badge needs to be removed or relocated. With the flares, I'm very happy with the outcome. Considering flares and paint, I am into them for less than my friend spent on his big brand flares, which look the same as mine, and he didn't paint them. Obviously the price of paint differs depending on location, however, I went to the same shop my dealer uses for body work so I have every confidence the paint will last. If you have flares on your bikes, it will take some time to know how they will effect the badges, but I would recommend them regardless. The packaging of the product On the side, the box was smashed in. There were no damages and everything was in its place. It would be best to include a block of foam in the center of the box or pack it with shipping paper to fill the void. Bubble wrap protected each flare and made it easy to identify. This is the product In addition to this brand, my buddy also purchased another well known brand for a little over $400. My son helped me install them on the same type of pickup as his. I compared these to his and I was unable to detect any differences between them. In addition to being on his truck, he went a few hundred miles without painting it. It was very hard to tell his flares apart from these Tyger flares. It didn't seem to make any difference to me, but someone else may have noticed. I was able to install the rubber strip against the truck in the same way as I did on my 2005 Nissan Titan. In addition to using some of the holes in the fender well, Tyger flares utilize other holes. The only improvement I would recommend is to tighten the seal, but still, the seal worked well. These were painted the same color as my pickup truck so I decided to take them. body shop that I took them to even thought they were Flares made of this material did not have any problem adhering to it. A custom paint job was applied to them, giving them an OEM look. Preparing your system for installation It took me a few days for them to sit at home before I had time to set them up. Despite the fact that the bolts and flat washers are made of metal, I thought it would be best to paint them glossy black (I am not sure if they are stainless steel). Preparation and painting of the BBQ grills were carried out with rattle can high heat It comes with a Torx bit for the bolt head. I initially wanted to use blue thread locker on the bolts (we used it on my buddy's happy to discover that the nuts included with the Tyger flares were nylon lock nuts. This prevented me from having to My bolt installation was slow for various reasons, mainly because I took my time in order not to chip the paint on the bolt or dimple the paint on the flare by overtightening. However, I found it very easy to accomplish. Getting the rubber seal was the toughest part of the entire procedure. It was not that it was difficult, it was that the process was extremely found the provided instructions to be sufficient for explaining the process. recommend doing the rear flares first. That way you get a feel for the rear flares and you won't need to cut anything like you do on the front flares. You've got to be careful, because I was concerned I wouldn't have enough rubber seal to cover the entire flare. It did not take much to make a four-inch piece, but I still didn't have enough to make a shirt. Errors are difficult to make here, so there is a low margin of The following are steps for installing on a truck Also, the instructions that came with the kit were sufficient. It was necessary to remove a few extra factory wheel liner screws that were not specified in the instructions, but it was to be expected since the trucks differed in make, model, and year. In addition, the fitment was not affected in any way, and it was easy to spot using Despite the flares being tight all around, the seal was still tight. There are no gaps, and they fit the body lines perfectly.

What I did and what I highly recommend is to pull about 3" of the tape backer off the flare, install the full length seal, then carefully peel off the backer while the flare is still attached to When working on the flares, you have to remove all the backer on the tight corners, but it works great when you work on.

The flares look great, but after reading another review about them vibrating through the paint, I decided to remove them and check them. Sure enough, after two months, the paint on these flares has worn through As of now, I'm not going to worry about them. This will either be recycled or I will protect the paint underneath with some sort of barrier. Also, I believe more expensive brands have this problem. The following is a It is attached perfectly to the rubber trim after the rubber trim was installed correctly. With the heat gun, I was able to get the right It's impossible to prevent these from scratching your truck unless you put down some tape on your contact points. In addition to these, the trim screws that come with them are junk and If you are going to use this product, you should get stainless trim screws.

I like the fit a lot. I used black silicone caulking to ensure they wouldn't move in the wind, and to make sure water wouldn't leak in. Installing the weather strip takes a little time. Assisted with the gapping as well. If possible, you should have the flare fitted close to the exhaust pipe. We removed the tape from the weather strip and applied it to the truck to close gaps. We also caulked the inner part of the wheel well so that mud and whatever else doesn't get inside. This really changed the look of the truck. What I got was My intention was to install rims that had an offset of 12. I think these are as good as the ones that are sold for 250-250 Amount 350 dollars.

My decision to buy this was based upon a lot of reviews. To begin with, it is not so tough to cut the rubber strip as everyone predicted. All of the pieces are slipped on before the red tape is peeled off. A second complaint was that the gap was too wide. My problem was the same as yours. However, under heavy investigation, it was determined that the gapping occurred because the bilts were too long, pushing the flares off. This was not an option for me. It is kind of like a push nut that I found at the hardware store. There were four bolts on each of the front flares and six on each of the rear flares. The total number of FLIPPING BOLTS is 20. It should be addressed by the Quality Control As soon as I did that, no gaps appeared and the fit was extremely good. In the cases where they had to be cut, I used thread locker. In addition to painting the cut end of the bolt, I coated it with zinc plating to prevent rust. My conclusion is that these are good buys for the price but be prepared to spend some time finding the right fit for your application. Comparing the price to the flares from big name brands, the price is quite reasonable. There are no pictures right now because I just finished it and it is dark.
