Mach 1 fender flares

[x2SL1CKx]

You did a really nice job on this. Did you reverse the direction of the piece by switching the passenger side and driver's side? Or did you slide it forward?















I installed a set too on a PP1 but they don't reach that far on the front edge, but are further back on the rear edge?















Regardless, you did it really well.

Thanks! So... I didn't reverse the rock gaurds, I installed those last year. I pretty much left them in place and started the mounting of wheel trim as far forward as possible.

Then I had to create a mounting bracket. So I cut a small 6x4 inch piece out of same material that I had laying around.

So, as I worked my way from front bumper to rear of wheel arch, I left the rock gaurds in place and marked where I needed to cut. Then removed rg and used a thin blade usually used for wood work. Important* I didn't cut all the way to my lines, I cut close to my line and then sanded the rest as needed! After a couple of back & forth, test fitting/Sanding a bit more I'm very pleased with final look!
Going to do the same with the rear soon!

Interesting that the front flares will fit the rear wheel well arches. So they fit to cover the whole arch, meaning there's no shortage of coverage?

I know I am bringing this back from the dead for a while, though this is my understanding and what I'm interested in.

They do a great job of keeping the fender lips from being sandblasted by all the crap on the roads. A mod well worth the money IMHO. I have a set on order for the company car.

Did you do the rear on yours? I'm about to order a set and see how it'll work out. Any advice?

If any of you guys are interested in having our supplier at Ford manufacture these for the 2015-17 GT and 2018-22 GT please email me at [email protected]

Include your year and what you would realistically pay. I need to submit some real numbers to one of their design engineers.

Too late to send off an email? I'm looking for a rear set, and don't care if knock-offs or not.

I have some front flares on the way for my PP2 and plan on 3d printing the brackets I need.
Have you made any progress on the rears? I'd like to do the rears if it make sense.

Same set up, only I have a pp1

ZL1 addon rock guards with mach 1 hp wheel trim. However since I do not have a mach 1 front bumper I had to slightly alter the positioning so it looks as oem as possible.

yeah you did an amazing job making them fit. I took them off as I got 20x10" and added 3/4" spacers in the front, more expensive but the wheels are lighter and bigger and fill in better. I'm on the wait list with Shelby american to install their widebody kit. Its only a two year wait!

Urs is really clean , I just ordered the fender flares as there is a 15% discount on ford.com

Gotta keep an eye on this. The rocks are taking a toll on my finder.

KR3Z16103A So if i install these Mach 1 fender liners, the Mach 1 fender lip molding will line up correctly? I read this old entire thread and doesn't seem clear.

No. The front bumper splitter doesn't rise up high enough to meet the front edge of the lip molding. You'll be able to attach the lip moldings, but they'll be empty space toward the front.

The red area will be empty but it's not terrible.

Just installed today.

I was concerned about the plastic gap, but on a black car it looks great and doesn’t make the gap as noticeable

Could you show how you installed it? I just bought a set of flares, but I’m not sure how to install on my 17.

Time for some wider wheels and tires to warrant those flares.

On the beginning of this thread , someone showed how to install it by cutting out plastic brackets, that is the best to go.

I got a sheet of 1/8 abs plastic to cut the same, just didn’t get around yet. Right now 3 out of 5 holes are holding it fine, but it is better to use all.

Thanks man! I did something similar and it’s not perfect, but I got the plastic to make brackets later.

Looks great.

The flairs do make the car looks nicer.

Totally worth it!
