[Irregular F150]

Bought new headlight bulbs, stubby antenna and some flaps from pdp on the 18th still dont know if they got the order and haven’t heard back yet... i also crawled under it today to plan my rust prevention attack. has anyone found a way to keep the flairs from rubbing the paint off?

Just chilling in the driveway pic, cause pics are always great

@drok223 you can buy rolls of the rubber fender flare edging/seal like what comes on Bushwackers for perty cheap. I would think it would work well. I have been tempted to do it on mine for the same reason

Will look into that. Kinda wonder if that thick clear 3m protective sticker would work. idk.

When I had my front flares off recently, I noticed that as well. I waxed the fenders really well behind where the flare sits. I can't see anything missing with the flares in place though. I've had 3m clear on the bottom of my doors for years now, that would be a good idea, but would show the edge a lot, or were you thinking of wrapping your flare? I think if you wrap the flare, it will rub worse, lol. Just thinking out loud here.

No I wouldn’t wrap the flair, just a small spot on the fender behind the flair. so that the tape takes the abuse instead. I dont mind if a tiny bit of the 3m shows as long as i save the paint from rust lol

I drove my Dodge Diesel to work today. It is not quite as sensitive as the Raptor...lol...not as fun though..as I have posted before, I have a love hate relationship with my Raptor...It is definitely an Addiction.

There is supposed to be 3M tape along the whole flare to stop paint rub.
It comes like that stock, at least mine did and the OEM replacements do as well, replaced all four over 11 years.

I've had mine since new and there was no 3m tape on my front ones, i've never heard of this before.

I don't know what to tell you, there is a 1/4 or 3/8" wide but very thin strip, it's single sided and glued to the flare.
When the body shop popped them off they were flat as hell, you barely know it's there.
