We put the FG flares on last winter. Pretty much as above, except, if you remove the paint to bare metal, be aware that the fiberglass resin may not adhere to the metal. Ours would lift off after completely setting. Upon advise of the body work guys, we coated the bare metal with epoxy first and let that set for a day, then attached the flares with fiberglass resin (Duraglass or other brand). We used the sheet metal screws for holding the flare on until dried. I left three rivets on each flare to ease my peace of mind. They have been through a lot of twisting and have not shown cracks or lifting. After the fiberglass resin is used to adhere and fill in the holes, use a soft body filler such as Spot Lite to get the even flow from the body to the flares. Takes a long time and lots of sand paper, but it works.
