Justin: Hey, everybody. I'm Justin with americantrucks.com, and today we're going to be taking a closer look, and installing these Low-Profile Fender Flares, available for your '21 and newer F-150.Now, these particular flares are going to be a great choice for the truck owners out there looking to add a very subtle factory-inspired flare, to add a little bit more coverage or protection for the side, while also adding a different appearance at the same time, thanks to that black contrast.Now, this set of four flares, of course, will feature that durable automotive-grade ABS plastic, that matte black color right out of the box, which is paintable, if you did want to color match these things down the road, and, of course, all of the hardware needed for the install for right around that mid $300 price point.So, if you're thinking about adding a set of flares to your F-150 and you've browsed your options here on the site, well, you'll notice there are quite a few different options, a majority of which are going to be pretty aggressive overall. Now, what I mean by that is, those aggressive flares typically offer a bunch of coverage for an aggressive offset or maybe for a really, you know, pokey kind of wheel and tire combination.And those flares a lot of times too will also kick in things like that bolt-on appearance, thanks to the included hardware. Now, while this is certainly a very, very popular look with a lot of truck owners out there, there's still a lot of truck owners who prefer the less-is-more approach and maybe prefer just to add that contrast of a subtle black flare but keep things pretty mild in regards to styling.Now, with that being said, these are certainly going to be pretty mild there. They're not going to add a ton of coverage like those pocket-style flares. So, if you are running a stock or a flush offset, these are certainly going to be a great choice. Now, on the other hand, again, if you are still running a stock or a flush offset, in my opinion, there's really nothing worse than adding those super wide flares while still maintaining that stock stance.I think it just makes the truck look a little goofy, and, in fact, a lot of my friends and I kind of joke, it looks like the truck kind of skipped leg day. So, again, if you have those super wide tires, wheels, a lot of offset, then sure, going with a wider flare certainly makes a lot of sense. But on the other hand, if you don't, something like this I think is a much better fit.Now, with all that being said, there are still some coverage benefits to these options here on the table today. We're talking maybe an extra 1/2 inch to an inch or so off of the fender, and that's pretty much it, guys. Nowhere near the 3-plus inches or more with those other pocket-style flares that we talked about a little bit earlier.Now, another thing I do like about these particular options again is that they are flush, they're free from any bolts or rivets, and that's kind of where that factory-inspired looks come from because, again, with these things on, there's really not a huge difference in appearance outside of that color contrast, of course, but they're going to be much more subdued compared to the bolt-on options that tend to dominate the category.Now, aside from that low-profile look we keep harping on here in this video, F-150 owners do also have some options to consider here when it comes to final appearance. Now, right out of the box, of course, guys, you are getting this matte black smooth finish. Definitely going to offer that nice color contrast on any F-150 out there, outside of black, of course, but again, if you're not a big fan of that color contrast or you just wanted to really crank up that factory-inspired styling even further, you could always have these things color-matched to your rig at home.Keep in mind, though, if that is a look you wanted to go for eventually, that is something you'd have to take care of on your own. Link up with your local paint or body shop to color-match these things as we do not currently offer a set of flares on the site that deliver this OE style with a color-match finish right out of the box.Now, before we wrap up the construction segment here, guys, we just want to remind you, this is a very smooth automotive grade ABS plastic or polypropylene, which is going to be equal parts durable and also very, very lightweight. Now, that material does also have a baked-in UV coating here, guys, and that's going to prevent these things from fading on you over the years.You know the deal there, right? You've seen maybe an older truck on the road, has a black set of flares, but that black has kind of turned gray, a little bit ashy. It's not a very good look, let's face it. So, the fact that these do come with a bit of a UV coating kind of baked-in to protect that black finish over the years, definitely dig that.Last not least here, another big thing I like about these flares, they're backed by a limited lifetime warranty, and that's against any possible defects over the years. Finally, here, guys, again, also got to mention this kit does include all four flares. Yes, I know I'm only showing you on the table here with two flares today. Can't fit all four, but you do get all four with this kit. And, of course, all of the hardware and also the weather stripping that goes between the flare and the fender, that's also included, and that makes for a much more finished look after the install.Now, moving into our pricing segment here, guys, you're going to look at the mid $300 ballpark for this set of four flares, and that's going to make them somewhat affordable when compared to other options in the category. Other similar options from companies like Bushwacker, Air Design, or even Rough Country. And that's going to be when we're talking about a similar low-profile option and not those more aggressive pocket flares.Now, you know, if you did want to shop around a little bit, you can find color-matched options right out of the box. They're not going to deliver this very subtle low-profile look, but they are available. So, at the end of the day, guys, be sure you're browsing our entire selection here at AT for your F-150 before making your final choice.All right. Last but not least, let's move into our install segment here for the video. Site's going to call this a pretty strong one out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter taking you, I would say, at least an hour to complete from start to finish, maybe a little bit more if you're the type of owner who really likes to take your time. But now we're going to throw it out to the guys in the shop for our detailed walkthrough and tool breakdown. Check it out.Male Speaker: Tools required for this install include a ratchet, a clip remover tool, diagonal cutters, a marker, painter's tape, a Phillips head screwdriver, 7-millimeter socket, and some microfiber towels. What's up, guys? Today we're installing a set of fender flares on our F-150. So, let's get started.So, the first thing we need to do on the front is to mount our bracket. Now, we're going to be removing pretty much every bolt from our wheel well to install this. The only one we're not going to be doing is the very last one on our lower trim. So, we'll grab a 7-millimeter socket, take all of these bolts out. So, we have four bolts that are on the inner lip of our fender here. So, we'll grab a 7-millimeter socket and take these out. And then we'll get the first one on our lower trim and skip this last one.Next, we're going to have to remove this little rock guard because our fender flare will be covering it. So, we have two more 7-millimeter bolts. We'll grab a 7-millimeter socket to remove these. And then we also have one push clip at the bottom here that we can get behind with a clip remover tool and pop that off. Next, we can install our bracket. We have four holes that are going to line up with the four bolts in our arch. So, we'll take our factory bolts and thread those in.Now, once we have those threaded into place, we can come back with our 7-millimeter socket and tighten them down. Now, next, before we get to mounting our flares, we need to install our weather strip on the outer edge. This is going to prevent scratching the paint as well as give it a seal. So, we have a strip of double-sided tape inside. We're going to peel that backing off and then lay it around the edge that's going to sit against our paint.Now, once you get to the other end, you can use a pair of scissors or diagonal cutters to cut off your excess. And then we'll repeat that same process for our other three flares. Now, we have one more hole in our fender flare than we do in our fender well. So, I've got some blue masking tape down here. We're going to have to hold our flare up and make a sharpie mark where we're putting down this clip. You can also use a grease marker if you have one.So, we'll hold this up and get everything lined up, and then I'll make my mark. So, now with our mark made, we have this sticker included in the kit that we can put down there so that we don't scratch our paint with the clip. So, we'll stick that on and then we can slide our clip right over top. So, now we're ready to mount our flare. Now, in all of the U-clip locations, we're going to be using these long screws that are included in the kit. Now, working our way to the back, we can reinstall our two factory bolts.Now I'll take a 7-millimeter socket and tighten these two down. Now we can go back up front and reinstall that factory bolt and tighten it down with a 7-millimeter socket. And now we can go back with a short Phillips head screwdriver and tighten down our screws. And then we'll do that same thing on the other side.Now, moving on to the rear, we're going to start at the front side of our wheel well. We have two 7-millimeter bolts holding in this rock guard. There's also a push clip at the bottom. Ours is broken off, so we're not going to be removing that, but you can grab a clip remover tool for that one. I've got a 7-millimeter socket to get out our two bolts.Next, on the backside of our wheel well, we need to remove these two push clips. So, I've got a clip remover tool to pop these out. So, now, just like on the front, we have a couple of holes in our fender flare that don't line up the holes in the fender well. So, I've got some painter's tape here. We're going to line up our fender flare and then take a marker to make a mark where we need to install our clip.So, now, we can take our pad and line that up with our mark. And then once we have that in place, we're going to be installing this S-clip. And then we'll do that same thing for our other two marks. So, now we can raise up our flare and we're going to be installing the smaller screws included in the kit.Next, we can reinstall our two factory screws at the front of our wheel well. And then we'll take our 7-millimeter socket and tighten those down. And now, lastly, we can come to the back and reinstall our two push clips. And then we can repeat that whole process on the other side.So, that'll wrap up this review and install of the Fender Flares for your 2021 and newer F-150, excluding Raptor. Thank you for watching, and for all things F-150, keep it right here at americantrucks.com.

Good product, Great look
These flares are a terrific addition to my Lariat with the Black Appearance package! My only issue is the installation is not updated for the new 2024 models. The front fenders do not have the bolts that the video shows and uses for installation. This means you have to improvise! I opted to drill holes in the fender tabs and secure with store-purchased screws. Not ideal but do-able.

Good product
They fit, they were pretty easy to install, they are solid and they look good. The price was good. The Ford dealer quoted me over $400 for the flares, and almost $400 to install. It was well worth it to do it myself.

Good product for the money
These fit well and looked good on my truck. There are a few things I wish they had in the design of these flares but overall cant beat the price. Bottom line i would buy them again.

Flares
Took about 2 hours and then some due to my model having flares on it already….good bang for your buck….woulx recommend double sided tape to help seal the area
