PRIOR TO INSTALLATION:

the correct flares for your vehicle.

• Remove existing decals and mud flaps on the vehicle that may
interfere with flare installation.

• Do not use any harsh abrasive detergent to clean the flare.

PAINTING

Painted flares cannot be returned. Test fit before painting. We are
not responsible for any costs that may incur if flares were painted
without test fitting.

• Clean surface to be painted with a good grade degreaser. Do not
use lacquer thinner or any solvent based product.

your paint system manufacturer’s recommendations is required.

DECORATIVE RIVET INSTALLATION

• Install a Torx Bolt [B] with a Washer [C] through each of the top holes around the flare and
secure using a Nylock Nut [D] on the other side. Tighten using a socket wrench and the
supplied Torx Bit [E]. Do not overtighten as this may damage the flare. (Fig 2)

IMPORTANT: Do not drill holes to the vehicle body as rivets are decorative and fasten only to
the flare. Do not attempt to use the bolts to fasten flare to vehicle body.

EXTRA NOTES

• All exposed fasteners and
bare metal should be treated
with rust resistant paint before
installing flares. Spray inner
fender wells with undercoat­ing after flare installation.

• Modifications may be neces­sary to maintain a minimum 4”
clearance between flares and
exhaust pipes. (Exhaust gases
should not vent directly onto
flares)

• For vehicle with large tires
may require lowering bump
stops and/or installing steer­ing stops to prevent tire from
contacting flare.
