These definitely look flared in the realoem diagrams. Somehow though it appears these PNs are also listed as the only (standard) front flares on the 4.8is? Mine has the un-flared versions? What gives?

Was there a special aero package available form the dealer that included the flared fronts?

I ordered and received rear flares a few weeks back (apart from the rear arches) without issue. Maybe somebody else here has recently gone for the arches?

Did you order the fronts, rears, or both?
