PRIOR TO INSTALLATION:

• Remove contents from box. Verify all parts are present and free from any defects or damage.

• Verify the fit of each flare to the vehicle body to ensure you have the correct flares for your vehicle.
• Remove existing decals and mud flaps on the vehicle that may interfere with flare installation.
• Do not use any harsh abrasive detergent to clean the flare.

PAINTING

Painted flares cannot be returned. Test fit before painting. We are not responsible for any costs that may incur if flares were painted without test fitting.

• Clean surface to be painted with a good grade degreaser. Do not use lacquer thinner or any solvent based product.
• Wipe flare surface completely dry with a tack rag prior to paint.
• Application of plastic adhesion promoter for PP plastic as per your paint system manufacturer’s recommendations is required.
• Use a high quality enamel or polyurethane automotive paint to paint the flares.
• Not recommend to paint the edge trim, but if desired use a flex additive.

WARNING

Dirt or debris may become lodged between flares and vehicle’s fenders causing scratching and paint wear from vehicle vibration. TYGER is not responsible for any damage, and installation is done with the buyer’s understanding that this damage may potentially occur.

SAFETY INFORMATION

• Before driving, ensure that flare is properly secured to the vehicle.
• Do not use automatic “brush-style” car wash.
• Periodically check all components for tightness.

Hardware Included

EDGE TRIM INSTALLATION

• Peel 2 inches of red backing away from one end of Edge Trim [A] .
• Apply Edge Trim over top edge of flare with adhesive side contacting inside edge of flare.
• Press Edge Trim into place and apply thumb pressure to ensure good adhesion, pull away red backing as you work your way around flare edge in one-foot increments. (Fig 1)
  NOTE : Do not stretch Edge Trim during application.

DECORATIVE RIVET INSTALLATION

• Install a Torx Bolt [B] with a Washer [C] through each of the top holes around the flare and secure using a Nylock Nut [D] on the other side. Tighten using a  socket wrench and the supplied Torx Bit [E]. Do not overtighten as this may damage the flare. (Fig 2)

IMPORTANT : Do not drill holes to the vehicle body as rivets are decorative and fasten only to the flare. Do not attempt to use the bolts to fasten flare to the vehicle body.

EXTRA NOTES

• All exposed fasteners and bare metal should be treated with rust-resistant paint before installing flares. Spray inner fender wells with undercoating after flare installation.
• Modifications may be necessary to maintain a minimum 4” clearance between flares and exhaust pipes. (Exhaust gases should not vent directly onto flares)
• For vehicle with large tires may require lowering bump stops and/or installing steering stops to prevent tire from contacting flare.
