Order of adding mods...

[Thylacine76]

I have a 2021 OBX that I recently bought. I'm planning on adding the Bushwacker fender flares (should be delivered tomorrow), HRG 1.5" lift, along with new tires (looking at Falkens).
Should I wait to add the fender flares until everything else is done, or would it be ok to add them before the lift and new tires are installed?

Yucca Mfg roof rack should be delivered on Wednesday, and I already have my 40" Rough Country Spectrum Series lightbar that will be installed with it.

Bronco Sport should be looking good after all this is done.

I would add the flares after everything else is done. Given they're held on with just adhesive, installing after your lift and tires eliminates the chance of them getting bumped or damaged while your car gets worked on. They've got a "curing time" where the adhesive is still a bit tacky, so best not to risk it. Congrats on your OBX!

I don't believe the Bushwacker flares are attached with adhesive. They use several metallic clips that connect the flares to the existing plastic wheel well liner. You can see the attachment hardware in the product photos on Amazon:

Correct. They are held on with clips.

I think the Forums official order of adding mods is: Pencil holder, engine cover, hood insulation, hood struts, . . . Did I forget anything? We need to insure those items are completed before this question can be answered.

Ah, my bad! I had the Airdesign ones on the Big Bend and they were purely adhesive.

Plastic panel under the glovebox as well. Can’t forget to add that one in.
