Step 1: Before Installation
A. Fit: Fit of the flare to the vehicle should be confirmed. Some filing, sanding, or cutting may be adopted for proper fit if necessary.
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.
C. Metal Protection: Rust resistance paint of all exposed fasteners and bare metal should be done BEFORE installing flares. Undercoating the inner fender wells should be done AFTER flare attachments have been completed.
D. Decals: Flares may interfere with existing decals on the vehicle. If you wish, remove decals prior to installation of flares.
