Was it difficult to align all those mounting brackets so that the screws would line up when you installed the flares??? I like them, something different the standard generic fender flares.....

Gives it more of a GM look to me based on their square fenders. I'd like to see it color matched.

Not at all. A few extra steps than normal flares, though. The bolts come assembled with the superbolt piece already screwed into the flare. After some prep on your fenders, which is simply scrubbing the surface down, simply peel back the tape, bolt the fenders to the wheel well, and press firmly on the bolts to get the pieces to adhere to the fender. You then unbolt the flares take them off, and push the super rim piece with a provided tool to adhere it better. After that you just simply bolt the flare back on. You can remove the flares easily for cleaning the fenders just like any other normal flare. I also like that the rubber trim was already installed onto the part.

Yeah it does. But it also follows the body lines of the truck which is why they’re squared off like that.

If you can see past the “Real Tree” graphics, this is what it looks like color matched in black:

What ever blows yer skirt up but IMO, you need to paint the bolt heads black and your wheels need black nuts. That would look waaay blacker!

At first glance i thought i was looking at a honda ridgeline. If your happy with them, thats all that matters.

Thought the same thing now that I can see the picture. Honda Ridgeline. Well, it looks better than a Pontiac Aztek

I don’t know. Breaking Bad made Aztecs cool. I’ll take it as a compliment!

RavJay, I didn't mean your truck. The pics of your beautiful black truck are making me jealous. I just can't help seeing "rust replacement panels" from JC Whitney. I put those on my K5 Blazer to repair quarter panels and fenders. Pop rivets. Sorry, it's what I think of. Your truck, you are boss.

It’s cool! Like I said it’s not for everyone. I appreciate your honesty!

Color match those flares and they will look much better.

Nope. I want less to buff and polish. Not more!

Hey Ravjay, I’m curious what’s the offset on those wheels? I talked to the people at air design today and they said that those flares provide up to 2 inches of coverage. I’m thinking a 20 x 10 -18 and a 35 x 12.5 would put me passed those flares. Which is the look I am wanting . Also is there a separate extension peace on your front wheel wells that air design sent you or is that something you put on yourself ?

Installed Air Designs fender flares today. Fit and finish are extremely good quality, and no more worrying about rub from my previous Bushwackers because the bolts are actually holding the fender flares to the fender without drilling holes in them. I like them because they’re tall, fit the lines of the truck, have splash guards molded into the design, and don’t stick out since my tires are only about 1/2” outside the fenders. I realize this style isn’t for everyone but it is right for me. I’ve also bought the fender vents, rocker panels and tailgate panel which I’ll be installing once spring gets here!

I'm trying to find any website, anywhere online, to buy some of these pieces to the Air Design kit, but all I've found is the entire kit on eBay and Carid for $2,300. I have a regular cab so I'm looking just to buy the hood, bumper, both tailgate pieces and flarers for my truck but I can't find anywhere at all to buy the parts by themselves. The Air Design site is in all Spanish and the prices are Mexican (?), I can't find a US/English version.

Anyone know where I can find these parts?

By looking at the pic its a factory sport wheel so I guessing but they should be a +19mm offset and yes -18 offset w/12.5 tires you will be sticking out past your fender but only slightly.

Not my taste but they look good on your truck, the matte black on gloss black always look great.

I like them.
