When the flares were put on my car, the body guy doing the work added one more step. After bolting them on with the sheet metal screws, he put a heat lamp near the flares for maybe a half hour. This caused the flares to relax a bit. He said that if you skip this step, the flares can heat up in the sun and relax, making it look like you didn't spend enough time on the fit and finish. I was there when he did this and could not believe hou much they moved. After that initial heat cycle, they took a set. He put the heat lamp up to them again to show me that they would not move after the intial heat cycle.
