It looks good, looks just like OEM. I know while back there were so other knock offs that didn't quite fit right.

I am looking to do the same with my heated wheel, perforated leather on the sides. May I ask who did the work?

Looks great!

I asked one of the eBay sellers with the 6 piece flare kit if they’d sell the front flares separately and they said they would do it for $65 shipped

I don't think those would be factory for that price. Do you have a link?

They’re the fiberglass reproductions, not factory.

Thanks. Unfortunately, they don't even look factory but thanks for the link. I'll just have to pony up if I make the jump...

They look pretty close to me. In any case, I’m not spending $600 on two fender flares.
