Overview
The Bushwacker Chevrolet/GMC OE Style Front Fender Flares, part number B/W40027-01, are paintable front fender flares with 1.25 inches of coverage for listed 1988-1999 Chevrolet C1500, K1500, C2500 and R2500 trucks, the 1992-1994 Chevrolet Blazer, the 1997-1999 Chevrolet Tahoe and the 1995-1997 GMC Yukon. They are sold as a pair and mount to the front of the vehicle.
OE Style flares are styled to look like a factory trim upgrade. Their fit and finish follow the body lines, so the truck looks as if it left the factory with them. Keep the original matte black finish for a blackout look, or paint them to match or accent the body color.

Front fitment checks
Front fender flares sit close to the wheel, the bumper and the headlight area, so the fit should be checked from several angles before the truck is driven. Look at the gap between the flare and the fender, then confirm that the front tires still clear the flare at full steering lock. Front-end height and suspension changes can also shift the position of the flare.
Bolt-on flares depend on the fender being straight and clean, so wipe the mounting surface before fitting. Remove any old grit from the wheel arch and check for dents that would prevent the flare sitting flush. Once fitted, recheck alignment after the first few drives, because the flare can settle. Regular inspection of the front edges helps catch cracks early.
