Merry Christmas everyone and Happy Holidays,

I was wondering if anyone has installed the Bushwacker fender flares, with the hardware, on their bronco sport?

I was looking into getting them and wanted to see how others liked them and how they looked on one.

I just got these delivered last week! Will report back when installed - im just worried how they hold up long term since its mainly just 3M backing.. (no actual bolting required)

They look great on your BS @TheDeadlySpaceman , any peeling/warping/issues?

I wouldn’t worry about that. As long as the surface is properly prepped the 3M tape will hold up pretty much forever. Given the location, I’d really rather use the tape than drill holes and create a place for corrosion to get a foothold.

My feelings exactly. 3M VHB tape was developed for automotive use. A lot of non removal trim like door guards, name plates, etc are held on with VHB.

If you mean the Bushwackers that are an option, I got them.

edit: and I like them.
Those look awesome and that's also the color I have. I was thinking about pairing them with the hood cover ford offers as well, but will definitely consider doing the fender flares for sure.

Do you mean the Aeroskin II? My original plan was to pick that up with my FordPoints (I’ve gone to the same mechanic for 20-ish years, some anonymous Ford tech isn’t touching my car if I can help it). Not as sure now.

Yes. The one that is offered on ford accessories but not the one that says textured, the other one.

Mine were ordered with the car and dealer installed. 1 year and 20k miles no problem, and yes, we like them.
Same here, I am at 7,000 miles. I did have to have them installed a second time. Apparently they didn't do it correctly the first time and they kept coming loose. I really like the looks of them!

I'm getting them ordered from Ford to install for me. Is the "Ford" version the same as Bushwacker? In other words, does it have the Bushwacker symbol on the end cap of the flares?
