After & Before: Hood protector and fender flares installed

[vethawk]

It's tough to tell in this picture since I don't have a before pic but the fender flares look much better ! Next I'm installing a Rigid 40inch light bar between the roof rails

How do they both mount? Might be some cool future add ons for whenever my BS arrives

Very easy.... they come with 3M tape and 3M glue.. you just need a grease pen and another helping hand to make sure you put it on correctly the first time you line it up.. you then trace it with the grease pen, apply the 3M glue and you will score a little bit of the tape on the ends so that you get it in place and then the tape pulls right off

Looks great! How close is the black color finish of the hood protector to the black finish of the front bumper? (Hope that makes sense). I really want this but decided to wait until I actually see one because I wasn't shire if the color finish was very different.

Are the flares from Ford?

I hope mine stays stuck. Got that glue stuff everywhere ? Some of it even went where it should have gone!

The color is a dead match... Yes I bought the fender flares from Ford. I don't know if my picture helps you but you can't tell the difference in the colors

Those fender flares look invisible. How much further do they stick out?

It's subtle but maybe an inch ... You can tell the difference once you put them on it looks much better. But I like subtle I didn't want it sticking out three or four inches

I'm at a bad angle in that picture ..if you make the picture bigger you can tell they stick out
