Man it'll take you longer to drive it to the shop than it would to put her on jackstands and take the wheels off

Be sure to caution them to hold the front part
of the front flares tight to the body
while installing rivets or you will get a gap!

A side note:
I got my flares from a dodge dealer in New Mexico on 02/05/08. They do not come with the small part that fits the front bumper. After a month of arguing about the fact they are not included in the kit the dealer finally ordered them. Then they called and said they were in but they could not get a price from Chrysler for the parts and could not ship without it. I again argued they showed in the pic and should be included. Not getting anywhere with them I emailed Chrysler Customer Relations. Never got a reply, but two weeks later got an email asking if my email had been resolved to my satisfaction. Let them have it with both barrels, no reply to that email either.
Best part, got a call tonite from New Mexico they finally got a price of $19.95 for each piece and they could ship them today,only 10 months later.

AND THEY WONDER WHY THEIR GOING OUT OF BUSINESS!

Got a simuliar reply, called about only 4 pieces instead of six as the pic of them shows. I was told that the pic was wrong, no bumper pieces and the flares start at the top of the front bumper....JAB02LHS, did they give you a part number for the bumper pieces??

No, but if you call Margie [ areally nice lady who tried to help] she has the set she ordered for me. No way was I paying another forty bucks. The truck looks fine the way it is. I'm not sure the would fit my '06 bumper but thought maybe I could make the work if included in the price.

I'll let the bumper pieces die a natural death. Installed the rear ones, *&^^%^, rivits wouldn't fit a standard gun, used nylon screw in ones istead, see if they hold. Some gaps but just will have to be, 3m trim adhesive would have been nice on the upper leading edges instead of rubber trim. Anyway, body shop can do the front ones.
