Omix-Ada | 11603.11 | Fender Flare Kit, 6 Piece, Factory Style | OE Reference: 55254918K6 | Fits 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ

1997 TJ. The product is great. Fit and finish are perfect. Took literally 10 minutes to install each. Getting the old ones off is the issue. That took better part of 5 hours. Some of the bolts are easy to reach and can be removed with a ratcheting box wrench (8mm). A regular combination wrench will work you to death. (Buy a quality wrench, my ratchet broke 1/2 way through). The plastic nuts on the inside are hard to hold,too. I tried gloves but my big hand would not fit behind the fenders. The tough part is some of the original bolts are installed with threaded inserts into the body panels. If they are stuck your wrench will cause the insert to turn in the hole. When that happens they must be cut off from the outside, then the old threaded insert removed and replaced. An angle grinder and a steady hand can cut the bolt head off (the heat generated melted the old flares). Then you can carefully shave the top of the insert until a punch can tap it through. You slip and that grinder is digging into your paint, so be sure of your skills first. After that you need a rivnut tool to replace the inserts. I bought one last year and now wonder how I lived without it. I used 5mm rivnuts and 5mm x 20mm stainless bolts with washers. Worked great and fits the same 8mm wrench. Final product looks great.

Great Product. Good Quality and Hole location was right on. I really can't tell the difference between this set and OEM. That being said... These are a Pain to install. Not the products fault. Just the nature of the beast. The worst part is getting the old ones off. The attachment hardware is kind of hard to reach in some areas. Do yourself a favor and buy a Ratchet Wrench that fits. I just used a boxed end wrench. It was doable, but a pain. Be prepared to spend some time. And try not to strip anything out or you'll be drilling screws out. I wanted to replace all the mounting hardware so I bought the Hardware kit. However you could get everything you need at your local Hardware Store. So after 6 Hours of cursing and tossing tools... Is it worth it? Yes!!! These fit perfect and look great!!! I bought the jeep with faded White chaff on the old Fender trims. So knowing they will fade out in the sun over time... I'm using 303 Aerospace Protectant right out of the box and keeping my fingers crossed. So if you don't mind a little work and want to replace your fender Trim... Don't hesitate about buying this product. Almost a year later and zero fading. Still nice and Black. Again, I use 303 Aerospace Protectant on these parts every time I wash the jeep. Now Almost two years and no fading. Black as New... Again, I always use 303 Aerospace Protectant on the trims when I wash my jeep. Very happy...

The fender flares are good and fit properly but the rear flares are black while the fronts are a lighter gray color. It's noticeable from a distance and up close. Either color is ok with me but they need to be the same color. I contacted the seller and hope they make it right. UPDATE: I figured out the color difference was caused by the petroleum based treatment I used on the canvas top. It rained and the treatment got on the back flares. Wiped the treatment on the front flares and the colors match. I'm happy with the product.

Takes time to take off old ones and install the new ones just due to all the small screws. However, pretty simple install. The rears are a bit harder because you have to loosen the inner fender liner in order to hold the nuts while unscrewing the screws. Comes with hardware, but I just reused the original hardware and the marker light as well. Worth the money versus painting old ones or trying to use a shining product for the oxidation.

These fenders are awesome and priced very well. Now I just need to find somebody who can install them for me on my 2006 Jeep Wrangler. Several auto shops have turned me down and I have tried to do this myself. I guess now I'll need to start hitting up on Auto Body shops now. I imagine it be very pricey to install them..

Item arrived on time and was just as advertised

They did not line up with the existing OEM holes in the OEM fenders. I thought nothing of it and put a little pressure to force it to fit. Later when they got heated up in the sun, they started to kink/fold as seen in the picture I posted. This happened to both L&R rear fender flares. I have not installed the front ones yet.

Very good quality, fit my jeep, very easy to install
