Default TRX Flares

newmoparparts.com/mopar-accessories.htm is selling the TRX flares for $279.20 with about $10 - 15 s/h. Local dealer says that is what they pay for them. Flipping a coin to see if I want to order them or not.

Pic looks like the splash guards go bye-bye...Why don't you try it and let me know....Brain damage but, someone had done it and said they ended up with about a 1/16 gap...

Front body guards get removed the TRX flares cover the area.

The flares do not come with the small flare part for the front bumper.

I wanted mine painted but the bodyshop manager said
they would peel in a year or two due to the pebble grain finish.

Read more here, pics were lost in this during the upgrade

Check my gallery for reposted pics.
I'd post more but I have reached my "Allowed Limit"

Major concern is front tires clearing the flares, have the 17" with 70 series tires...maybe just bite the bullet and order them...

The gap he got was at the front end of the front fender. You will not get the gap between the fender & flare if you have someone hold it tight to the body while installing them,
