Bushwacker Cut Out Flares

What are Bushwacker Fender Flares made of?
Bushwacker Fender Flares are made of Dura-Flex® ABS plastic, an exclusive product of Bushwacker. It is the basic material that our flares are produced from. Simply stated, it is a high impact, low temperature thermoplastic which bends, is flexible and yet its rigid nature retains its shape.

You don't make a flare for my vehicle. Can I stretch a fender flare to fit a vehicle that you don’t support?
You cannot stretch or shape a fender flare to fit a vehicle its not designed for. Our flares are made to be vehicle and year specific. Unlike other flares on the market, our flares have been created to meet every curve in the sheet metal of the vehicle it was designed for.

How difficult is it to install Bushwacker Fender Flares?
Bushwacker fender flares are easy to install. We supply the correct hardware and easy-to-follow instructions. Our flares are designed to use factory holes if available. If factory holes are not available, some of our newer flares install with self-tapping screws. Our Fender Flares mount directly to the sheet metal for a strong and secure fit.

Will Bushwacker Fender Flares fit if my vehicle has body side moldings?
If your vehicle has body side molding, we suggest that you cut the molding where it intersects with the flares or trim the fender flare around the molding. To insure proper fit with no gapping, we recommend cutting the molding.

Will Bushwacker Fender Flares fit if my vehicle has running boards?
In most cases Bushwacker Fender Flares will fit your vehicle if it has running boards, providing your running boards attach to the wheel well opening with a flat plate.

How do Bushwacker Fender Flares mount?
Each Bushwacker Fender Flare application mounts differently than other applications. For specific mounting details of a specific application, download the installation sheet provided on that application’s fender flare product page.

Why do Bushwacker Fender Flares for my Dodge cover part of the front doors? It doesn’t look like I can open it.
The Dodge door opens inward at an angle; the flare will not interfere with the closing and opening of the doors.

I have a brand emblem on the sheet metal near my front wheel well. Are your flares notched to fit around the emblem?
Bushwacker Fender Flares are not notched to fit around brand emblems. The emblems can be lifted and moved to just above where the flare will sit easily by heating the adhesive they are attached by with a hair dryer. Be careful to not scorch the paint by overheating it.

How can I tell if my Toyota has an import or domestic bed?
Import Bed: the lip of the bed will roll out to the outside of the vehicle (some will also have external tie downs).
Domestic Bed: the lip of the bed will roll into the inside of the bed.

An inset image is available describing import or domestic beds on supported Toyota imported or domestic bed fender flare application pages.

I have a vehicle that is a sister vehicle of an application you support, such as the Mazda B-Series Truck/ Ford Ranger or the Mercury Mountaineer / Ford Explorer. Will Bushwacker Fender Flares fit these sister vehicles?
There are many parts on these vehicles that are interchangeable. Unfortunately, the quarter panel sheet metal pieces are different enough to make our flares fit incorrectly on these vehicles. If a sister vehicle is supported, you will see it on our website as a supported application.

Do I have to cut sheet metal to install Cut-Out flares?
All Bushwacker Cut-Out Fender Flares except some Toyota Cut-Out applications require sheet metal removal for installation. Our installation instructions simplify the process, it is best to read the application’s installation instructions before purchasing.

Can you paint Bushwacker Fender Flares, BedRail & TailGate Caps or TrailArmor?
Bushwacker Products come in OEM-style black but can be easily painted to any color you want! If you want to paint the product yourself, we suggest that you clean the product with a high grade degreaser, wipe with a tack rag and then spray with lacquer, enamel or polyurethane base automotive paint. Clear coating is optional, but recommended after painting.

Do I have to use the edge trim? Is it paintable?
We recommend using edge trim, as it helps the flare fit snugly up against the vehicle body and minimizes gapping.

We do not recommend painting the edge trim.
