Looks great. I will be interested to see how well the LineX holds up on yours. I used it on the bottom side on mine and it is coming off. Maybe mine did not get prepped right. No big deal on the underside though. It is black and you can't hardly tell the difference.

Again, it looks great.

The sagging problem has been fixed for quite some time now on the wide fenders. The narrow fenders for the 4-drs have never had a sagging problem. Back when the wide fronts came out they were the saggy fenders which Xenon added a big smoked plexiglass insert and they are stout now. The new narrows include the same front inserts. The narrows do not sag on the rears for the 4-drs, the 2-drs rears on the other hand are being re-designed as of last Friday. Myself and one other guy in the US had a problem with saggin in the rear, the problem is the 4-dr and 2-dr wheel well recesses are not the same depth, deeper on the 2-dr. Xenon is working this re-design ASAP to get me and the other guy replacements which will not have this problem. Basically as you tightened them up they pulled in the middle and sagged which the 4-drs are shallower so the surfaces mated at the correct point wihout issue. I don't work for Xenon and only reason I know all this is because I have been working with Craig Way aka Doc Xenon on the 2-dr narrows on various little things (instructions, black and white picutres that couldn't be read, hardware list) little improvements which they have changed already in the last 2 weeks, including the sagging rears. Production time for these new 2-dr narrows is about 6 wks from re-machining the mold to hitting the production line.

I installed mine this past weekend, as Sasquatch posted the instructions have very poor blk and wht pics. Also the 1/4inx20x1in bolts listed on the instructions were non-existant in the kit. You need these 1in bolts to install the frt flare where the support goes. Do yourself a favor and go ahead and get them beforehand and not wait like I did and have stop in the middle and go to the hardware. You'll need a total of 6 (3 per frt flare) of the 1in. The 3/4 ones they supply work fine for the rest. You'll also need two teeniney bolts and nuts (as the instructions say not included) for your side marker light ground wire. When you get your flares in take the marker lights out and look at the size of the hole. What size dunno but it's real little, I'm gonna hook mine up later. You'll also need a 25/32 drillbit. It' a little bigger than 3/8in. the rear holes will need to be drilled except for the 2 holes at top .I installed my frt liners after trimming per instr. (use tin snips,alot easier than a razor) but didn't do the rear. I can see having the extra protection against splashing and such in frt but to me the rear is not worth the hassle of putting it back in. I used 3m rubber undercoating on all the white showing frt and rear. Also when removing frt their are only a couple of bolts to take out that hold the liner to the fender bracket, take those out and just pull real hard on the rest. The rear, no bolts , grab the liner and pull and rip, then grab the flares and yank off. The rears came off in about 30 secs a piece when I realized brute force was better than trying to pry them neatly off. Wife is sick so I don't have any pics, but to me their BADASS. Hopefully get some up in the next day or two. also be carefull and take your time with the rivet tool (for the rear flares only) because it barely lasts through the number of rivets you install. Hope this helps. Mark P.S. Needlenose pliers are needed to hold some of the nuts in place to get them started on the frt. unless you have itty bitty fingers.
