Tips and Tricks

Any one know of any good methods to tweak plastic flairs? The TJ flairs that i put on the rear of the jeep don't match up and i need to either curve one towards the body more (kinda like rolling it towards it) or pull the other one out and decrease the bend in it.


Since thats confusing ill let the pics explain

Does it really bother you that much?

The more i think about it, if people bust my balls on how it doesn't match up, i have a reason for it. "these flares were not meant to be on this body stlye." If these were to break on the trail which with my luck they won't, then ill gladly run the flare less until cops bust my balls on it.

Then just leave it the way they are and don't fucking worry about it.

Better yet, i used a propane torch earlier, and with that being said, my flares aren't painted there torched black

Heat bend let cool and it will stay in that position.
But it is hard to get enough heat to make it soft without burning or melting it.

You could put a tab on the fender side that holds the door side out and it will line up.
Then the door side being preloading inward would actually help.
But it might hit your door, you could have extended the flare out past the door but it's too late now.
