Sorry, I don’t—they came w/the vehicle as a Dealer-Installed Option(albeit 2 mos. after purchase), but are listed as OEM accessories on Ford’s main site & called “Fender Flare Kit II” & are described as “paintable Bushwhacker fender flares” if that helps. Fit & overall look were just not right-IMO-& as they’re technically not supposed to be installed with splash/mud guards & needed some slight modification to fit, the dealership who installed them completely butchered the upper portions-leaving a 1/4” gap on driver’s side & smashed up against the flare so tightly it was warped on the passenger. I had them replaced w/the Air Design ones & couldn’t be more pleased w/how much better the vehicle looks now. My mom even noticed & said so, so that was good enough for me!

Where did you buy the Air Design ones from?

Oh OK. I thought oyur post said you replaced the OEM bushwakers with something made by another company

I did—the Air Design ones. Their PVA is the same as the Ford Motorcraft bumper covers & rocker panel cladding & match a lot better.

So where/who did you buy the Air Design ones from? Brick and mortar building? Website?….part number etc? I cannot find them on the Air Design website as they do not list the Bronco Sport.

Thru my local dealer directly from Ford. I’d originally purchased it from a dealership about an hour from home as they had the model & options I was looking for in stock, but my dad worked at the one in my hometown for 42 years & I just trust their workmanship a little more—let’s just say.

Could you post a pic of the back door seam. Where the door closes to the back fender. Just had mine installed at ford dealer today. That area seems wide. Like they weren’t placed on right. Gap is different on each side also. Thanks.
