    Sorry for the late response..

    Wires go through the cap, down the inner rear window casing, and into the bedside where it continues to the blue sea under the hood

    Back tracking did some maintenance, my lower coilover uniball was screaming. Thanx @Wheelspinner for the text support. After the uniball came in (ordered 4 to do top/bottom both sides) I dove in to fix the shotty uni. I previously to the swap picked up a variety pack of snap rings, not realizing the actual size of the snap rings needed I hit a wall on progress when the pack didn’t have one large enough, as well as realizing I need to rent a LBJ press.

    Two days and seven stores later I found the snap rings at a local mom and pop hardware store. Renting the press was easy at the auto store. Some PB blaster and some elbow grease I pushed out the old uniball. Cleaned everything up and pressed in the new one. It was such a process to start I addressed the shot out uni and save the other three for another day..

    **Snap ring size for Icons lower uniball are 1 1/8”**

    Flares officially bolted up.

    Strange how the kit came with 1/2” long bolts that are useless..
    Sourced my own 1” ss and threw them in the paint booth

    Strange as well the front flares match up every fender hole but one.. the rear just matches one..
