I installed the front a couple months ago. Finally got around to installing the rears today. Was being lazy because I knew I had to cut out existing rivnuts I put in when I did the outer fender chop.

Impressions: rears look as good as the fronts. I really like them. That being said, I would not recommend these for folks that are not mechanically inclined. The driver's side was a big pain in the a$$ due to the fuel vapor canister relocation. Instruction pics are terrible. Saw a diesel video on YT, but that section wasn't real clear. The hose they provide is way too long and kinked closed no matter how I routed it. The rear bracket provided was also impossible to figure out, so I just left it off. Seems strong enough without it. An OEM bracket had to be bent up and out of the way on both sides...not in the instructions. A few other things irritated me once I was good and pi$$ed. Lol

Again...great final look and coverage, just not for folks that can't think on the fly.

Nope. Left as is. I'll do the red/white/blue on the flag some day.

Thanks! So bought it powdercoated? Mine is raw. I'm looking for info on best painting techniques.
