Try to make some dummy caps to cover the mounting holes. It'd look like you drilled to mount em. Or did you have the mounting spots filled in?

What I'm suggesting is to NOT drill to mount. Only use the 2 sided 3M. Then attatch some of the cap screw covers over the mounting holes to make it look like you drilled them. A drop of clear silicone should hold the caps in place.

I'd let the tape sit overnight after applying it to the flares. Then peel and stick em on. I'd prolly press on them every hour for the first day before you drive it. I'd hate to see one start coming off in the high speed wind the xB is capable of.

sorry for the long long delay. i finally got a chance to take and post pics today. this is just with the rear flares mounted. working on the front soon. excuse the size. they look better anyway.






in one of the pics you see the tape, ive seice then removed the flare and re mounted it and let it sit longer. looks better now.

now i need an opinion from y'all

I'm ordering a replica Kenstyle kit sometime after February. i was wondering should i have the kit AND flares painted Black Sand pearl or run them all Black cherry pearl?
