Did you have to remove the clips (in the picture) I brought oem ones and I can’t get mine on because of the clips?

 

[Slappy]

i took the single pin plastic out of each front & used the supplied 2 each plastic jam fasteners
But as far as the others ,as i have installed these on highlander ,
I just screwed thru the existing plugs as they have a square indention that just grabs the supplied bolts really tightly .
i did this for a 2018 highlander i still have & no issues in all that time .
Hope that helps

So I don’t have to remove the plastic clips on the back just use the screws and place them in those plastic clips?

 

[Slappy]

yup

now ive only did this with weathertech mud flaps but if yours has bolts with wood screw point & aggressive threads
that plug plastic is soft it squishes to fill the hole

These look good! I have a 2025 SR5. If i have about 1 inch of poke from +25 wheels, do you think the mudflaps would cover that? Trying to prevent rock chips.

 

[Slappy]

NO , i got +35 wheelz & got a 1 1/2" poke
these only cover Stock tires & wheels
mud everywhere with W/T mud flaps

!
tire r 265r70-17" Bigfoot AT BigO
I got the Rough Country flairs on my RS5
$299.oo black mat
or get painted in OEM color $599.oo
i got a set of slightly used flaps now 4 sale lol
But i now have coverage with flairs & my OEM tube steps help as well but no mud flaps needed

I didn't realize you can put aftermarket flairs on the SR5. Did you have to do any modifications to get those on? Looks good! Do you have any rock chips from the +35 wheels?

 

[Slappy]

no no & not now

i had a body shop install these , these r the best flairs out there , did my home work
R C will arrange a appointment to install these for a set fee
there is a install video on the R C site these have a gasket between fender & flair they bolt inside the fenders
other flair brands use two layers of 3m ddb sided tape to seal to fenders

u can see these flairs reach all the way down to the rockers coverage is the best better than stock higher trims that come with flairs

these are awesome. my truck is leased so it looks like these could be removed to bring it back to stock too.

yup , no damage to remove , i didnt lease but that was a big issue 4 me

 

[RustyB]

you just made my day, definitely getting these. Can i see I a picture of your whole truck at an angle if you have one? (figured you might, because I can't stop taking pics of mine lol)

BTW, if you don't mind me asking. How much did they cost to install?
