Hello Keeth,
Installing flares, rear or front is not a big a problem as I thought it would be. The bigest step is cutting out the fenders. Mine are from Renspd as well. They fit fairly well.
Steps:
Obtain a good cutting disc and sawsall.
Hold flare against fender and mark inside so that a good 1-2 inch mounting lip is created.
Cut fender.
Refit flare and make adjustments.
Using a fiberglass epoxy body filler, place filler on fender and flare.
Attach flare at very top with self tapping screws ( you will need a couple hundred of these).
Remove the paint on the fender to bare metal.
Using a 5 min. house hold epoxy, coat both the bare metal and the mating surface of the flare. Let dry completely (24hr). This provides a good adhering surface for the filler epoxy.
Attach flare to fender going from top screw down each side.
Let epoxy set.
Remove screws.
Test that flare is attached well (pull on the flare, better it come off now).
I placed a few revits on the flares to assure adherence, probably not needed.
Sand smooth.
Hope this helps.
