    Yeah, the front area is easy. Fifteen minutes with some snips and a BFH. Just be mindful of the stuff that's attached on the other side inside the engine bay.

    air filter was getting a bit dirty and decided to roll with AFE pro dry instead of dealing with k&n and oiling...

    yea but they compress...I was able to hit the flare on a drainage dip in my neighborhood... hit on the inside edge so that's a good sign (at least it wasn't hitting further out)..trimming shouldn't be too drastic

    Just FYI, I did some more clearancing this weekend and stuffed mine without coilovers. At full stuff, I have about 1.5" of clearance between the top of the tire and the flare. Of course that is with super bumps, so with stock bumps it probably won't compress as far. It would also be really tough to ever stuff the tire that far with coilovers on, but we'll see..

    hitting a bump at speed i was able to have it hit the flare...i circled the area where it hit (yellow)..was thinking about cutting the flare where i show in red to help that out..might have to cut and beat back the metal fender to flare it out a bit

    there should be some more screws holding the flare on in addition to the clips to help secure the flare...

    that's one of the reasons why i'm trying to chip away at the flare...trying to keep it as secure as i can besides relying on just the flare clips..

    Have you seen what Mr. Grimm did with his flares? MadToy did something similar. Looks pretty clean and allows for lots of extra room in the wheel wells.

    were you able to turn the wheel at all with it stuffed?

    i'm wondering how things will fit with it compressed up there and tire turned...
