I installed these last night and then drove it in the cold. I then put it in my heated garage. You will want to give it some time in the warmth for the adhesive to cure properly. I believe the adhesive trim Is part of what helps keep the fender in place and not just trim. . I can ply speak for the flat flares but the stainless hardware and pushpins are junk. I replaced them all after breaking a good percentage of them the first try. The clips dry out so leaving them in a plastic bag with water for a day or so will help you from breaking them. The stainless I would buy new but if your gonna use theirs don't forget the anti-sieze.

 

Thanks, I'll look at new hardware. I thought the temperature warning had more to do with the flares themselves (not the adhesive) cause they would crack when tightening up the bolts if too cold??

 

I just installed mine Saturday. It was about 3 C in my garage. No problems everything turned out great

 

Leave them inside until you need to install, the temp thing is so you will not crack them during install.

 

Ya that what I did. Worked fine

 

I have talk to quite a few people and the general response I get is the flat flares make the jeep look like it is lifted higher. I like the pocket flares on pre 06 wranglers not so much on the JK's.

 

I'm leaning towards flat, but not sure what brand now. I kinda like the new Rugged Ridge ones, Xenons, and the Bushwackers.

 

here are my bushwacker Flats....love em!

 

Looks wicked good!
