Sounds like a plan, I was thinking the shipping would be tough for 4 wheels back and forth. I love mine and get complements all the time.

4? I’m doing all 5. What did your guy charge?

Be interesting to see how that holds up with the flares not being removed. I mean the edging inbetween, Great idea though for protection and expensive. We had it done on the wifes new rav4.

Here is the owner's perspective on the flairs.

"I’m assuming that they are talking about the Fender Flairs. If that is the case, with experience, we have learned that if you reinstall flares on top of the film on the fender, the constant movement and bounce will rub that area and the film will start to pucker because the flares are so tight. Imagine those two surfaces rubbing together with film there. This happens at times where hood scoops are tight such as on a Charger Hellcat. Some may want the hood scoop removed and the film tucked under it. That scoop is tight so the film will picker at those points. We install 1/16 of an inch from the flair so that doesn’t happen. We wrap the flare separately and wrap all the under the wheel well when possible.
Attached is an example."

Well that's good they are doing it separate. Your posted picture earlier didn't suggest that. Hopefully it doesn't lift around the edges. I've seen shit, that's why I mention it.

That's damn cheap. $120/wheel here. But mine is a two-tone which I bet adds a bit.

This guy is so on top of things that he's made arrangements with a shop he trusts up my way to give it it's 3 week check up for any air bubbles that he would normally do for locals. Plus he said to stop by whenever I'm down that way as he gives a 10 year warranty. That's one of the reasons it was easier to swallow the kind of coinage it takes.

It will lift a bit on the edges before 10 years, especially on the stretched corners, unless you keep it in a temperature control garage, even then, IDK. Keep your warranty papers. In the end, it's there to protect your paint, which it will do just fine.

Owner says mine won't lift as most pieces are wrapped so no exposed edge.
