using a auto body shop to mount flairs is the way to go imho
they deal with flairs all the time every make of p/u has them , allot of SUV's have them .
I found it was easier to talk with the auto body shop 1st about the best flair that They recommend & have used in the past.
they pointed me at Rough Country wide flair .
I went to three body shops. 2 chain stores and 1 independent. All said they weren’t willing to take a chance with the items after looking at them. Which is why I ended up at the second Offroad shop.

Rough Country has install service as well for a set fee they will arrange a appointment at service shop who does these flair installs for them.
It's not expensive either

Has anyone successfully installed these NYTOP flares? Link

I have had 2 Offroad shops try and talked to 3 body shops.

The first Offroad shop tried both front flares but took them off and said the flares weren’t flat and the fact the instructions called for two layers of double sided tape it meant that gap would be visible even if the parts were flat. They then recommended I go to a body shop as they would be more familiar with mounting trim tape and adhesive promoters.

I went to three different body shops with them all telling me the parts were not straight and they didn’t think it would looks well enough to my satisfaction once they got them on. They said they would heat and use promoter but still didn’t think they would go on without gaps.

The second Offroad shop tried two different times to install them. Once heated or even under the sun the flares get soft. Almost a gummy like feeling. Very very soft at the edges. So they were able to get them on but once they cooled they began to pull again. So after seeing how they looked after sitting a couple of days they recommended taking them off as they would most likely pull away more as I drive.

I’m curious if anyone has successfully installed these and what do they look like up close.
