EGR Flares are on *pics*

Well, the shorted rear hardware showed up today overnighted direct from EGR. This company is first rate! Great customer service! These flares are very nice quality and I was skeptical to how they could stay on but DANG!, these things ain't going nowhere.

The fronts have 3 clips that hook on them that use existing inner fender screws to hold the clips on, then the bottom screw from the lower fender holds the lower point and then these little square shaped c-clips with a tab clip to the fender edge and snap in a slot on the flare in 3 other places. And I mean these little clips are a b**ch to get on! The rear uses more of these little clips in 6 places around the flare. I started with one on the top and worked my way down and on one I needed to move the flare a little to line up the body groove part of the flare. I couldn't get it off! I could but it would ruin the clip. I had to gently pull the flare to where I needed it. They ain't coming off without some serious help.

Thanks guys! It's Race Deck. It's about 5 years old now and in need of a few replacements. It's on it's second house now and soon to be on the third since we are moving back to our home state of Good Ol' Indiana. It's really nice stuff. The only problem I have with it is you have to use something under a jack or stands, I use 1/4" plywood, or you will dent/crush it. They claim it will hold 3000psi but I beg to differ.

See below..........................

No problems at all there. I've had gas, oil, antifreeze, diesel fuel, chain lube, brake clean...you name it and none of it is a problem. I will say the plywood under stands or a jack is worth the hassle because it looks sooo much better than painted or unpainted concrete.

I love mine. You made a great choice on those EGRs. They are awesome and fit perfect! Worth the money. They keep crap from flying up on the sides of the truck.

Have a nanner!

Thanks! Your pics and posts on the flares helped me pull the trigger. I was kinda worried about how they stay on but you were right in one of your posts
