TOOLS FOR EASY INSTALLATION

 Drill

 1/4” Drill Bit

 7/64" Drill Bit

 Utility Knife

Step 1:

Prior to Installation:

A) Fit: Verify the fit of the flares to vehicle by holding over the factory

flares. (Some filing, sanding, or cutting may be necessary to

ensure proper fit). DO NOT USE: Loctite, SuperGlue, or similar

products on the hardware or the flares.

B) Painting: (Optional) if paint is desired it must be done prior to

installing flares on the vehicle clean outer surface with a good

grade degreaser. DO NOT USE LACQUER THINNER OR

ENAMEL REDUCER AS A DEGREASER. Wipe outer surface

thoroughly with a tack rag prior to paint.

Paint flares using a high quality enamel, or polyurethane automotive

paint. (Application of a primer coat is optional)

If painting edge trim (not recommended), use a flex additive.

C) Performance: Using larger Tires may increase the area required to

turn the vehicle. Some Tire/Rim combinations may require lowering

bump stops and or installing steering stops to prevent tire from

contacting flare.

D) Exhaust System: Modifications may be necessary to maintain a

minimum 4” clearance between flares and exhaust pipes. (Exhaust

gases should not vent directly onto flares)

NOTE: Front doors may need to be re-adjusted to clear flares.

FLARE INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

Step 2: Accent and Side Molding

Modifications

A) Remove accent moldings from around all wheel

openings (if so equipped).

B) Remove factory flares and/or mud flaps from all wheel

openings (if so equipped).

On vehicles equipped with body side moldings that

interfere with flare attachment, it will be necessary to

modify either the moldings or flares.

Option 1: Modifying the side molding:

A) Place flare into wheel well opening and mark a line

across molding where flare intersects. Remove flare.

B) Rubber or vinyl moldings can be cut on the vehicle.

Warm molding with a heat gun or hair dryer. Carefully

slide a flexible wide blade putty knife between the

molding and the sheet metal; this will act as a shield to prevent cutting paint. C) Make cut with a SHARP utility knife. NOTE: BACK ANGLE CUT on the long side of the marked line. This will match flare angle and leave material if another cut is necessary. Metal moldings must be removed from vehicle for cutting. Option 2: Modifying the flare: A) Place flare into wheel well opening and mark flare where side molding intersects. B) Remove flare and mark thickness of molding into flare.
