DIY: Rear Aero Flares Info
 

does anyone have a diy instruction with pictures for installing the rear aero flares? Ive searched the forum but only found 1 for the side flares.

Fairly straightforward, my only tip is to NOT cut the hole for the tab until you look inside the bumper - there is actually a mark in there to cut on.

i saw the 2 marks but after i drilled the first one on the bottom side it doesn't seem to match up with the screw that sticks out of the flare. if anyone has any pictures of them installing the flares that would be helpful, thanks.

Does anyone have a link to a PDF for the install instructions? I thought there was one on Rosenthall's site, but I can't find it now. I currently have the rear splash guards but am adding side aero flares and thinking about getting the rears too. Wondering if they use the holes that are used for the splash guards.

bump....anyone got a writeup?

I painted and installed my own. A friend gave them to me, but they were black. I had splash guards before. Did not feel like cutting into the bumper so I cut off the tabs on the flares. The new 3M tape does the job just as well holding them on in that area. Otherwise you have to take off the entire rear bumper to drill the holes.
