Those look really good. Way to figure it out for us lol. Just one question, when the fender touches the paint, does it allow the fender to move and flex from vibrations? Wondering if dirt and grit can get in and damage the paint.

I put Rough Country flares on my truck and they came with rubber edging to go against the edge of the flare and the body. I could kind of see that on the rear ones here. I bought some clear paint protector tape that's 1/2" wide. I bought a grease pen and mounted the flare without the edging to determine where they would sit. I then traced the outside edge of the flare on the body. I put the protector tape on the inside edge of the line. I put the edging on the flare then mounted them.

These come with rubber edging you put on, they also come with pieces you put on the paint where the clips slide onto the painted part under the flares. They are held on pretty tight so not a lot of flex.

looks like the HD version where they would have an amber light in that place

Amber light you say? I wonder if that could be added to our 1/2 tons and wired into the parking lights...

I pulled the trigger on these flares on eBay.  $300 shipped.  I was not crazy about how smooth they were out of the box, was expecting a bit more texture.  But once I got them on I loved the way they looked.  No instructions provided but the install was fairly easy,  I looked at some instructions for similar style flares from other brands before starting out.  The fit and finish is perfect, all the hole and edges are lined up right where they should be.  

 

I'm a fan...Not too big, not too little.

Will these fit with the stock mud flaps?

Yepp the fit right on top of them.

I forgot to show the front flare and how it mounts around the front air slot.  I thought it was pretty neat that it retained the opening and did not cover it up which I thought for sure it would have.

Is there any install instructions anywhere online for these? Mine just came in today, and I have an idea how they go on, but I am not the biggest handyman. I did email my dealership to see if they can email install instructions. I do not see these on the GM accessories website, so I am hoping the still have access to the install guide. Either way, can't wait to get them on!

My dealership was kind enough to print off the install instructions for me. Try to get to them this weekend.

As long as the weather holds out, these will be going on my trail boss tomorrow. Will get pictures posted if I succeed.

You should scan and post the instructions so the rest in the future don't have to figure it out like I did lol

    • I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.    
    • Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.
    • If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.
    • It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.
    • JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
