    I’ve got the feeling there isn’t a used market for these. For that price and the work to take it out people would just leave it in and hand over the new owner the stock pair.

    Unless you’re a TW a member, I doubt the dealership or new owner would even recognize the change.

    I don’t know why I’m so giddy for this simple mod, but I am.

    Yes you can. Some people have been having same problem and just epoxying them for temporary use till they get new ones. I bought 2 clips just in case. They seem to break easier if cold.

    If you're talking about the blue ones both of mine broke also but when I put it back together it was all tight and solid

    Definitely more subtle on a black truck, but I like them.

    Just installed the trim plates, led side markers, raptor lights along with BHLM. I really like the impact of this little detail.

    How’d you get the flare to stay on & not have a gap like this?

    Is this black space normal and I’m just so used to the straight black or did I do it wrong somehow :facepalm:

    The two bottom clips on the flare and the bolt should hold it

    If you look on up on Amazon for a body man wedge , I used that to pop the bumper out of the bracket going from the headlight back so that way I didn’t have to pop out the flares to fare .

    They are installed correctly. Only 1 way to really go on. I think it's just the angle making a dark shadow in the corner. If you look at your other pics the filler plate goes right up to the headlight
    He must have painted, because black is the only color I haven't done yet. I am waiting until me new paint booth arrives so I can do some more colors.
