Air Design Superbolt Fender Flares Ready-To-Paint Primed | 18-20 Ford F-150

Paint-Ready Off-Road Stance and Superior Sheet-Metal Paint Protection

The Air Design Superbolt Fender Flares in Factory Industrial Primed Finish (MPN: FO25A03PR | SKU: GPSM_FO25A03PR) deliver a customized, wide-body stance while shielding your truck's sheet metal from flying gravel, trail debris, and harsh road spray. Arriving pre-coated with a factory-applied industrial 2K German primer, these flares skip the costly labor step of sanding and priming—simply buff with Scotch-Brite and spray to achieve an exact color match with your vehicle's factory paint code. Engineered to withstand harsh freezing sub-zero winter temperatures, heavy slush, and corrosive de-icing chemicals across Canadian transit routes, these custom flares provide extra tire coverage without requiring permanent sheet-metal modification.

Because these flares are precision injection-molded from high-impact co-extruded ABS polymer, they offer superior structural durability while resisting material fatigue and cracking in extreme weather. Air Design’s patented Super Bolt Fixation System isolates the flare hardware from your vehicle's aluminum body panels, completely eliminating damaging metal-on-metal vibrations and rattles that wear through clear coat paint over time. SEMA automotive styling evaluations confirm that custom-molded ABS body components eliminate unsightly panel gaps, providing a seamless factory-integrated appearance once color-matched and installed.

Technical Specifications

Vehicle Fitment

This four-piece Superbolt fender flare set is custom-molded explicitly for 2018 to 2020 Ford F-150 truck models. Review your specific year and trim configuration below to guarantee proper fitment:

• Ford F-150 (XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, Limited; Regular Cab, SuperCab, SuperCrew) | 2018, 2019, 2020

Strict Fitment Exclusions: This fender flare kit is NOT compatible with Ford F-150 Raptor models (which feature wider factory composite front and rear quarter panels), 2015–2017 Ford F-150 platforms (due to different front grille and headlight contours), or 2021+ F-150 generations.

Installation Notes

Installation requires zero drilling into your truck's exterior metal body panels. The custom flares attach using factory wheel well mounting points, 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, and Air Design's patented Super Bolt technology.

All stainless steel, rust-free decorative bolt hardware mounts directly into the ABS flare body rather than touching the truck's paint, ensuring zero risk of body panel rust or clear coat friction wear. Prior to final installation, the primed ABS flares should be scuffed lightly, cleaned with solvent prep, and painted with topcoat to match your vehicle's paint code.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to sand or prime these flares before painting them?

No. These flares (MPN: FO25A03PR | SKU: GPSM_FO25A03PR) arrive with a factory-applied industrial 2K German primer. You eliminate the need for full sanding and priming—simply buff light surface area with a Scotch-Brite pad, clean, and apply your automotive topcoat.

Do these fender flares require drilling into my truck's exterior body panels?

No. Air Design Superbolt Fender Flares install using existing factory mounting holes inside the wheel wells and heavy-duty 3M automotive foam tape, requiring zero drilling into exterior sheet metal.

How does the Super Bolt system prevent damage to my vehicle's paint?

The patented Super Bolt design isolates the stainless steel accent hardware from coming into direct contact with your aluminum bed or fender panels. This dampens road vibration and eliminates friction rubbing that traditional bolt-on style flares cause.

Will these flares accommodate wider off-road wheels and tires?

Yes. By providing approximately 2 inches of additional tire coverage per side, these flares effectively contain tire spray and block rocks thrown by wider offset wheels and oversized mud-terrain tires.
