    Is anyone aware of a problem with install of oem fender flairs?
    Finally got my truck back last week after a d bag ran a stop sign in front of me causing the front end damage, just to flee the sene.. I posted it on 6/16
    Everything seems ok except the two new fender flairs in the front are slightly separating from the quarter panels, I brought it back to the “Toyota factory certified” collision center to have them tell me that’s the best they can do because the factory has a special machine for that install. Sounds like bull I had A long enough day at work and didn’t feel like pressing the issue. It’s just really bugging me. What do y’all know or think? Should I drop it and call it square on my 2020 trd off-road with 1,500 miles on it or be more bitchy about it. thanks for any input!

    Big load of crap. You can fit these by hand if you take the time. Shop was probably in a hurry and tried to ship it early.

    I had to partially take my front fender flares off when installing my headlights, and still to this day I cannot get the flares to sit perfectly against the fender panels lol.
