Product Information

The product is a set of fender flares manufactured by Bushwacker. The fender flares are designed to enhance the appearance of the vehicle and provide protection to the vehicle’s fenders.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Fit: Before installation, verify the fit of the flares to the vehicle. Some filing, sanding, or cutting may be necessary to ensure a proper fit.
2. Performance: If using larger tires, be aware that it may increase the area required to turn the vehicle. Certain tire/rim combinations may require lowering bump stops and/or installing steering stops to prevent tire from contacting the flare.
3. Exhaust System: Modifications may be necessary to maintain a minimum 4-inch clearance between the flares and exhaust pipes. It is important to ensure that exhaust gases do not vent directly onto the flares.
4. Metal Protection: Before installing the flares, treat all exposed fasteners and bare metal with rust-resistant paint. After completing the flare attachments, spray the inner fender wells with undercoating.
5. Decals: The flares may interfere with existing decals on the vehicle. If desired, remove decals prior to installing the flares.
6. Care & Cleaning: The Bushwacker fender flares are built to last. Any detergent used to wash the vehicle is sufficient to clean the flare. Avoid using harsh abrasive detergents.
7. Tools for Easy Installation: The hardware kit includes various components for installation. Refer to the included component list for details.
8. Edge Trim Installation (if required): If the flares do not already have edge trim installed, follow the provided instructions for applying the edge trim to the top edge of the flare.
9. Rear Flare Installation Procedures (Passenger’s Side):
10. Remove the factory fastener from the rear of the wheel well and thoroughly clean the vehicle sheet metal and inner flange.
11. Hold the flare to the vehicle and mark five flare hole locations with a grease pencil.
12. Wrap a foam tab around the wheel well sheet metal, centered over each of the upper four marks. Place a mylar tab at the mark made on the lower front of the wheel well.
13. Install a clip over each of the four tabs placed over the upper four marks. Install a supplied S clip over the mylar tab installed at the lower front of the rear wheel well.

Application of plastic adhesion promoter for ABS plastic as per your paint system manufacturer’s recommendations is required. Paint flares using a high quality enamel, or polyurethane automotive paint. If painting edge trim (not recommended), use a flex additive.

  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)

• Metal Protection: All exposed fasteners and bare metal should be treated with rust resistant paint BEFORE installing flares. Spray inner fender wells with undercoating AFTER flare attachments have been completed.
