STEP 7
FIG 12 FIG 13
In order to perform Step 7, you will need to draw a line on the inside of the fender, and then cut along the line you drew. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO DRAW THE LINE BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO CUT! Using a marker or a paint pen, draw the line as shown in FIG 12. Next, using a cutting tool, carefully cut along the line that you drew. This line may need to be adjusted slightly after cutting. (Fig 13). Remember: You can always remove more material, but you can't add it back on.
STEP 8
FIG 14 FIG 15
Remove the wiring group from the sheet metal by releasing the retaining clip. This will allow the wiring to move freely and be a little longer to reach the wiring harness a little later. (Fig 14) Using a 7/64” drill bit, drill a pilot hole to be used with a self-tapping screw in Step 8. (Fig 15)

STEP 9
FIG 16 FIG 17
Holding the inner liner and fender flare together, slide the assembly back onto the quarter panel allowing the clips to engage and hold the flare in place. Start with the bolt toward the center. (Fig 16) From underneath begin to replace the factory 10mm bolts to hold in place. (Fig 17)

Using the 7/64” drill bit and using the liner as a guide, drill a pilot hole for the remaining self-tapping screw. Insert and tighten the self-tapping screw. (Fig 20) Tighten remaining 10mm bolts to secure the fender liner and flare. (Fig 21)
Complete
Pull the wiring harness around to the front of the flare so that the connectors can be reconnected and routed cleanly.
Use a zip tie, if necessary, to secure harness up and out of the way. Repeat from Step 1 on the other side of the vehicle.
