Ordered my Ace wide flares on Feb 2, and they finally shipped June 7! They got to my house yesterday but I'm out of town so I cant wait to install them next week! Hope it was worth the wait.

I just got my set. So the powder coat seems to be pretty good. I've heard mixed reviews. It took about 8 weeks for me.
So one question I have is how did you guys do the edges that go against the sheet metal? Did you buy some rubber material with a sticky side or put it right on the Jeep metal to metal?
There is a little bit of a gap near the edge. How does this look when the flares are on the Jeep?
Here is a pic (PS: that is a cut out for the stock flare 90 degree elbo brace...not a warped metal edge. The picture makes it look distorted)
I added another picture because it looks worse in the pic.

I like the wide flares with my 35's.
