Air Design Superbolt Fender Flares Satin Black | 2018-2020 Ford F-150

Aggressive Off-Road Styling and Superior Sheet-Metal Paint Protection

The Air Design Superbolt Fender Flares in Satin Black (MPN: FO25A03 | SKU: GPSM_FO25A03) deliver an aggressive, wide-body stance while shielding your truck's paint finish from flying rocks, mud, and trail debris. Engineered to withstand harsh freezing sub-zero winter temperatures, severe road salt treatments, and high-impact off-road gravel across Canadian routes, these fender flares give your truck extra tire coverage without requiring permanent sheet-metal modification. Automotive customization specialists emphasize that adding wide-coverage fender flares is essential when upgrading to aggressive offset wheels or larger all-terrain and mud-terrain tires.

Because these flares are manufactured from high-impact co-extruded ABS polymer and coated in a factory-applied OEM UV-stable Satin Black 2K German paint finish, they resist premature color fading, chalking, and material cracking under intense sun exposure. Air Design’s patented Super Bolt Fixation System completely isolates the flare hardware from your vehicle's aluminum body panels, preventing damaging metal-on-metal vibrations and rattles that wear through clear coat paint. SEMA aerodynamic and body styling evaluations confirm that precision injection-molded ABS body components eliminate unwanted body gaps while maintaining full structural flexibility in cold weather environments.

Installation Notes

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

All stainless steel, rust-free decorative bolt hardware attaches directly into the ABS flare body rather than touching the truck's paint, ensuring zero risk of body panel rust or corrosion. Professional installation can be completed in under 90 minutes using basic hand tools and provided surface prep cleaner.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

Can these Superbolt flares be painted to match my truck's body color?

Yes. Although they come finished in a UV-stable OEM Satin Black 2K German finish that is ready to install out of the box, the ABS material can be scuffed, primed, and custom painted to match your truck's paint code.

How does the Super Bolt system protect my body paint from vibration damage?

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

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

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