Excellent vid! Just used it to install fender flares on my new 2018 Colorado. Buyer Beware: The anchor nuts included with the kit for the upper rear flare fasteners are VERY SHALLOW. They do NOT line up with the pre drilled holes on the flares. Quick tip: test fit the anchor nuts on the flares. you will see that they are too shallow. drill new oversized holes on the flares that line up with the anchor nuts, then proceed with the installation. You can also use the previous fasteners and washers (they fit just fine) to hide the larger holes.

@fondupot 5 жыл бұрын

Can anyone give me a long term update on how these hold up to fading? I don’t want to get into another situation where I have to oil up my fenders every 2 months or else drive around with crappy looking faded grey fenders. Can anyone advise?
