the flares use a couple of torx head screws, but they also use 2 sided tape to hold them to the body. be carefull not to pull the paint off the truck. use a little heat when you yank on them. i needed to touch up my bed cuz i didnt know i had me a little rust going on under them.

no prob, looks great on the newer wheel. one trick i did to get in those slots in the spokes was to spray from the backside of the rim. and you can really pour this stuff on w/o drips. what was that 3 coats?

more paint means more pics. as some of you might know i've had the gutter grille
for a while, and now ive painted it black to match everything else black. doesn't stand out a whole lot, but now almost everything matchs. i can't tint the headlights
so maybe ill do the 3 emblems for now.


^mas bugs, i work at a swamp.

You can get away with 1 can for 2 rims If you decide to throw on another coat. you will be surprised how much is actually in a can lol. 2 cans maybe 3 you'll be fine let it dry throw on another coat just to make sure you got it all then let it dry and install, GRAVY
