Those look sharp. I wouldn't change the stock ones out but the rear ones cake up with snow and ice so easily I can never open the rear door. These look like they would solve that and look better.

Looks BADASS!!! AwesomeI ended up spraying behind them black because the white shows through them a lot. Also, I'm gonna have to re-do the tape at some point when it gets warmer. They've been coming undone since installation. My wheels are -12 with 37's on them for reference.

I couldn’t wait… lol Used vinyl trim blackout tape on the fender edge. I had to drill out the screw holes slightly in the front flares so they would sit level. They do seem to squat a little toward the rear, at least the front flares do. So I had to drill them out a little to give more adjustment and then used larger washers on the screws.
I added an extra strip of 3m on all the flares and used a heat gun to help with the bond and forming to the fender. Cleaned with Dawn/water, then alcohol…multiple times… Passengers side front fender, the tape just doesn’t want to stick on the backside and the fitment doesn’t seem as good as the driver’s side. I may see if they can send another…

Closeup of the gap on backside of passenger front, not too bad… But my OCD is kicking in.

Same boat here. Curious - what would be your approach to re-doing / safely removing from tape? I guess I'm assuming you'd remove the entire fender flare first?

I didn't redo mine yet, waiting until the weather breaks. I will definitely remove the fender flare thoroughly clean again. Reapply new tape.
any tips for prepping the surface, loose the adhesive maybe? Or should I be fine just pulling / peeling it off?

Before I redo mine I'm going to check with my friends auto restoration shop for any tips. Kinda sucks that it happened but want these flares to stay on.

I’ve had my KBD flares at the paint shop since 4/20 and install was scheduled for 5/1. Got an email yesterday (4/28) that the painter was having a hard time getting all the oil out of them that was left on them when they were manufactured. He has painted them a few times now but is not happy about the end result. Tentatively rescheduled for 5/11 now. I had sent them the KBD instructions for paint prep prior to dropping them off. Wether they followed them or not who knows. Anybody else got these color matched and have issues?

They look amazing painted, even better than I thought. Looks like Anderson or ADV fenders from the side.Mine finally arrived back today
How many hours did they take and/or what did they end up charging you?
Not far from you. Doylestown here. Hope to see you around!
Looks great. Do you got a side pic to show the “poke”?Mine finally arrived back today
