Talking New Flares installed!

Thought I'd share the finished product.

Some folks may remember that I painted the cladding. I painted the flares to match. Kudos to Jim (you know who you are ) for the "deal" on the flares!

Looks great Ken! These flares when painted black really bring out the stance of the truck. Have fun with it!

Thanks!

I'll be swapping wheels (but keeping the same tires on the Expy) with my F-150 next week and putting the Daystar "lift" in as well.

I think I might be done after that since a supercharger is out of the question. (wife) Although a guy on the island is selling a Lightning engine & tranny....hmmmm....

I got them from a user here but he got them off ebay. He got the wrong color so I took them off his hands.

They run around $100 or so depending on shipping.

Simple to install...really simple. Directions are okay once you read them once or twice.

hxxp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7969355039 is the link to the flares. Substitute "tt" for the "xx".

I put them on my truck. See my gallery for pics.

I haven't done that yet. Still waiting for the time.

There is at least one user here that has posted pics.

Maybe a search would turn it up.

I'll post step by step & pics when I get around to getting it lifted.
