Did you buy rivets from dealer or hardware store? Someone mentioned that you could get those rivets from hardware store for much cheaper price...

Flare install procedure, if you installed RB's, this is a piece of cake really nothing to it. You just need:
a. Plastic Rivert Setter - to install new rivets
b. small hammer - to tap out old rivet with nail
c. (1) 1/12" finishing nail - to push old rivet in for removal
d. flat tip screwdriver - to pry out old rivet

Remove front old arch by pulling outward from the back(running board side) and work its way to the front.
Remove rear old arch by pulling outward from the front(RB side) and work its way to the rear.
The plastic rivets come in 2 different lengths. Make sure to use the longer plastic rivets for the front flares and the shorter for the rears. Thats it. Let me know if you need more guidance ENJOY.....

Thanks for the installation guide, TaMbALoLoNg. I got my installed today. You are definitely right...it looks so much better with an extended arch flares . I will post an update with the flares next time.

Your whip looks Great TaMbALoLoNg! Are those wheels replicas or OEM's? I like them in that color!

Very Nice job!

Plastic rivets came with the flares but YES you could use any plastic rivet, i believe they are 1/4" and the screw-in type, so you wont need the plastic rivet setter.

Thanks for the visual Freddy, but hardly any difference. I like the SUV look vs the station wagon look
