I started by installing the center screw loosely and working my way out to each end. Several of the holes in the fender didnt match the trim, so I marked them and moved on to the next hole.
Once I got them all marked, I pulled the trim and used a small burr bit on a dye grinder to open them up.Now that the holes lined up I had to gently finesse they shape by rolling it with the ball of my hand to get it to conform tightly to the fender. Again I tightened the screws down.
I marked the ends as they needed trimming too. I pulled them back off and trimmed the excess with utility scissors. A bit more tweaking of the kinks with my hand, and installed and adjusted as I went.
If your patient the Corvex brand work fine, just know going in they require some adjustment. They were as much as 50% less at Summit than coming from other vendors who may or may not have been selling the same brand since the name was not advertised.

Do you have a summit part number for those wheel well moldings? I can't find them on the site. Truck looks great!
