Reviews: Crown Automotive Fender Flare Mounting Bracket Kit - 55003232K

I would buy it again

The brackets themselves, other than being only slightly thinner than the originals, fit really well and do what they were designed to do. As for the hardware packs, somebody misread the OEM parts catalog. When you add up all of the mounting studs you come up with 32. However, only 28 nuts are included. So, you'll need to save four from the original installation. The kit comes with 10 "push-on" nuts. More of a retainer while you fumble around installing the nuts. The OEM install had one of these on every stud. =32. If I can at all avoid using these I will. But, if you wanted to install them you'd be 22 pieces short. The hardware kit also comes with 12 sheet metal screws, of which I can only find (so far) a use for eight, two Spring Type U-Nuts, which I do have use for and 14 Push in Fasteners, for attaching the inner fender. The push-in Fasteners don't play too much of a part retaining the flares, but I will be using a few of these (thanks to the previous owner). Overall they were easy to use. The hardest part was figuring out exactly which piece installed in which position. I'm happy with my purchase.
