Started Installing Bushwacker Flares
I new once I put on my new bigger wheels and tires I would have to install my flares I bought a year ago. Although there fit was pretty good, there are always minor things that need to be trimmed from the edges to insure a fug snit.
First order of business was to hold them in place to see where to trim or sand. A 1/2" wide strip of 3M Urethane Paint Protection film was installed where the flare makes contact with the vehicle to protect the paint.
Although they come black I plan on painting them so they hold up better here in AZ.

They look pretty good but hears a thought you may want to consider
with all the dust and gravel you will encounter in AZ off road it might be a good idea to run a bead of silicone around the edges where they meet the body so you don't get all the rocks and gravel stuck between them and the body causing premature body rot.
