Just put the flares on my 2018 Chevy Colorado Z71 this weekend. Wasn't hard to do. I did have to drill 1 hole on the rear passenger side flare. Other than that it was pretty easy going. I watched your video a couple of times and followed your directions. Thanks for posting this video.
Thank you thank you thank you. I just got done with my 2017 Colorado. Your video was perfect. I followed your steps, never looked at the GM instructions. Perfect.
Excellent vid! Just used it to install fender flares on my new 2018 Colorado. Buyer Beware: The anchor nuts included with the kit for the upper rear flare fasteners are VERY SHALLOW. They do NOT line up with the pre drilled holes on the flares. Quick tip: test fit the anchor nuts on the flares. you will see that they are too shallow. drill new oversized holes on the flares that line up with the anchor nuts, then proceed with the installation. You can also use the previous fasteners and washers (they fit just fine) to hide the larger holes.
RamMan2017 All the holes in my flares lined up perfectly. Were you using ZR2 flares? Cuz those will require modifications. But regular Z71 fares should line right up.
Agreed, I definitely prefer the look with the flares. I looked into aftermarket offerings, but I didn't like how far out they extended from the wheel opening. The OEM flares have the perfect amount of overhang
This is a perfect example of an install video. This has the questions answered ahead of time. Great instructions and video! Thank you for the Part #s too. :)
Thank you. I needed to see this before I attempted it because I certainly would have jerked the red tape backing OFF before I hung the flare up there. Good job sir. Now my Cajun Red Tint Z71 has more FLARE!!! HaHa!!!
Yep! Plain and simple install directions. You have some very good advise to make this easier and that silicone idea was something I never would have thought of. Putting them on mine this weekend and this will be a big help! Thanks!!
Thanks very much. The mirrors are Clearview USA towing mirrors. I did a video for this a few months back, the mirrors were part of a promotion with the company and they provided them for me.
Fondupot's garage Looks nice! Its hard to tell in your video but does the top of oem flair cover right up to the body line? I have a tiny ding on my quarter panel above my back wheel and because its so close to that body line pdr cant be done. I'm just trying to figure out if oem wheel flair will cover high enough to hide the ding? thx
Yea, they go pretty much right up tot he body lines over the wheels. Look for pictures on the ColoradoFans.com forums, there might be better ones there. Thanks for watching!
I really want that fender flare im not sure if that fit in canyon plus in ebay they dont shipp the item here in canada SK But thank you for the reply👊😎
I installed mines over a year ago and they are still holding up. For the fronts, I didn't remove the backing tape that touches the front bumper. This will allow me to remove the bumper without having to worry about he flare being stuck to it. That portion of the flare will be fastened to the bumper with 2 screws.
Currently I have 2016 Z71 version and having suck a terrible time to try find the fender flares , I’ve looked looked and looked but with no luck , question ? What all years would fit the 2016 version ? I heard only 16,17 will work , I’ve checked my local Chevy dealer nobody has them , I’ve even been looking at auto wreckers hoping to find some on a wrecked truck but no luck , any body have suggestions? Please and thank you
I realize I’m commenting on a 5 year old video, but I have a reason. The only thing stopping me from installing these on my 2022 Colorado is the nightmares I still have about the fenders on my 2012 JK Wrangler. Can anyone give me a long term update on how these hold up to fading? I don’t want to get into another situation where I have to oil up my fenders every 2 months or else drive around with crappy looking faded grey fenders. Can anyone advise?
There are lots of good products that help keep plastic from fading. Chemical Guys has some. Sadly this truck was totaled 3 years ago, and I no longer have it, so I can't say how the fenders have held up.
Not necessarily. You can remove the adhesive on the flare that goes on the bumper and reinstall it without it. The bolts will hold it in place. I’ve seen others do it.
I do believe the weather tech mud flaps will fit...I ordered mine and it asked if I had fender flares or not. And by the way weather tech mud flaps are no drill and look great....just sayin!
could you possibly give me the vendor name who you bought these from? there's so many and prices are all over the place...I just want to be sure I get the ones like you got...they look great
Personally, I don't like these flares. When I ordered my new Colorado recently, I made sure they were not on the truck. I dont like the look. Looks cheap. I did not want to add a piece of plastic to the body of my truck..LOL
@@fondupot I kinda get what he means but ultimately they do look better and help protect the truck. There are lots of other plastic parts on these trucks including bumpers, mirrors, bed railing, etc. Look at any offroad Tacoma and they have them.

I just installed these on my Colorado a couple weekends ago. I love how they look..definitely what the truck was missing.
Right on. Totally agree. They add protection and a finished look to the truck that I just really like.
Do you know if when you do this to the truck, does it void the car warranty?
@@jhojanrendon6936 I think it can if you drill into it

@@fondupot Z71 kit. Correct GM part numbers. Maybe they swapped parts in the kit since you've used it.
Trying to add a picture after the install but I don't see any way to do it...No worries though. The fenders are on. Looks good.
One more thing i was wanting to get but haven't gotten around to it, looks so much better.
Agreed, I definitely prefer the look with the flares. I looked into aftermarket offerings, but I didn't like how far out they extended from the wheel opening. The OEM flares have the perfect amount of overhang
i've never seen a Colorado with the GMC Canyon All Terrain wheels. Looks good
That’s what I thought. I think I’m going to give it a shot. Thanks again
George S no problem. Good luck

Chris, sorry I never replied to you. Thanks very much!

W. H. Bell right on! Glad to help! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video, it's so much clearer than the faded instruction sheet.
Pete Pees glad to help!
Thank you sir.. very helpful!
Awesome job explaining how to install.
Gord Monteath Thanks very much. Thanks for watching!

Would this video instructions work on a 2021 Chevrolet Colorado, great video, keep up the good work, thanks.
Should be very similar. Just be sure to verify your part numbers. It may be that there is a different wheel flare part number for 2021.
Hi, great video, thanks but i was told the colorado flares were doing on the 2021 elevation canyon too? Thank you for the answer
As far as I know the flares should fit 2021 models as well. Thanks for watching.
great job and awesome video...Now what kind of mirrors are you running and where did you get them?
Thanks very much. The mirrors are Clearview USA towing mirrors. I did a video for this a few months back, the mirrors were part of a promotion with the company and they provided them for me.
Thanks for the vid. Instead of drilling on the back ones like you said.. Which industrial adhesive do you recommend?
3M. Molding tape. Meant for car emblems. Should do the trick nicely.
@@fondupot Wow thanks for the super fast response! Cheers!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!

Nice video and truck looks great. In the final shot of the whole truck do you have a level/lift?
Thanks. The truck was stock height in that last pic. Although I’m adding a level soon. So stay tuned for new videos over the next couple weeks.
@@fondupot Thanks! Looks great. I'm considering a level soon as well. Not sure what size I'm going to do yet.
THANKS!!! The instructions I recieved look like they got printed on a 70's zerox machine. Nothing is legible.
Glad to help. Thanks for watching.
Good stuff. I really enjoy your Colorado vids.
Redcell60 thanks very much! And thanks for watching!
Hi there thanks for that video,
Where did you buy those fender flare and is there any size for gmc canyon 2016?
I think I bought them on ebay. These should also fit canyons.
I really want that fender flare im not sure if that fit in canyon plus in ebay they dont shipp the item here in canada SK
But thank you for the reply👊😎
THANK YOU! Very well done and informative.
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching!
Having them painted to match the body would make them perfect.
True. I do like the contrast look of them unpainted though.
I like it. Looks great!
The Car Crazy Guy thanks man.
Here is a link to purchase these fender flares, fits 2015-2020 Colorados and Canyons: amzn.to/38lxnF8
Will not fit on ZR2 Colorado.
Nice vid. Just a question. Can I install that in a GMC Canyon? Pls reply
Eway Rendon thanks. Yes you can. The parts will fit
Do you think these would work with a 2019 Canyon All Terrain long bed? it didn't appear to impact the fuel door, which was my main concern. Thanks!
@@geoprojourney3804 they will work
Do you know if when you do this to the truck, does it void the car warranty?
Jhojan Calderon no warranty would be voided doing this.
I installed mines over a year ago and they are still holding up. For the fronts, I didn't remove the backing tape that touches the front bumper. This will allow me to remove the bumper without having to worry about he flare being stuck to it. That portion of the flare will be fastened to the bumper with 2 screws.
I sorta wish I did that. I might have to remove the bumper one day to mess with headlights. I'll figure something out.
Do you have pictures of what you did.
Nice! Where did you get those wheels? The look like the Canyon wheels.
They are. I found them on Craigslist.
Currently I have 2016 Z71 version and having suck a terrible time to try find the fender flares , I’ve looked looked and looked but with no luck , question ?

They OEM ones may have been discontinued. So you may have to go for like Bushwackers. Here is a listing for a set.
amzn.to/3vp0oRc
Where did you order these? And what part number will I need for my 2019 Colorado front and back.. thanks in advance
Check the description for part numbers. Bought them on gmpartsdirect.com
Will the flares collect salts and dirt which will rust the metal panels over time?
Xyooj Vaaj I am not blessed with the gift of future-sight.
Having trouble despite dealer installed flaps of mud from our road spraying on sides of truck. Will this cure that?
It will help slightly.
I had that same mud splash issue with my ZR2. I installed Rokblokz mud flaps and problem solved.
I realize I’m commenting on a 5 year old video, but I have a reason.

Will this kit work for a extended cab?
I don’t see why not.
Mine didn't come with replacement screws. OEM in the OEM box and instructions.
Shame. It should have. I’d contact the seller your purchased them from.
What is the part number for the wheel flares for a 2018 Colorado Z71
James Jeffrey Coleman check the video description, it’s also listed in the video.
Beautiful truck...👍
Thanks! It’s sad it was recently totaled.
Can you still install mud flops with the wheel flares on?
To be honest. I am not sure
Can you install these if you have the mudflaps?
Honestly I am not 100% sure.
What leveling kit did you go with and was it a 1in or 2in?
michael valdez I don’t have a leveling kit. My truck is stock
you can get the leveling kit from rough country.com I bought mine from them and my truck looks awesome.
do you know the thickness it add to the fender?
William St-Pierre probably 1” or 1-1/4”
Fondupot's Garage okay it’s great! Ive plan put 1 1/2" spacer so I think it will be okay
What kind of wheels are you running?
larry lucas very clearly discussed in the video.
How do these work if you have mud flaps
I don't think you can have both.
Will these work on a 2022 gmc canyon?
I believe so yes.
Can you please do a video of a front break pads change??
Alejandro Lopez eventually yes!
Thank you! Is there a link you can send me? I have to change them soon!
Alejandro Lopez I don’t have a video made yet. But eventually I will make one.
i want to put the canyon wheels on mine
Matt McGhee I was lucky to find a set locally for $400 with tires. Only 2000 miles on them.
What is the price for these flares?
italianrelic I think I paid $330
Do you know why your wheels are different than mine?
John Lamb I swapped out my regular Z71 wheels for the Canyon All Terrain wheels. See my video on that.
@@fondupot k thanks
The only thing I don’t like is, if the bumper needs to come off, you have to buy a new set
Not necessarily. You can remove the adhesive on the flare that goes on the bumper and reinstall it without it. The bolts will hold it in place. I’ve seen others do it.
@@fondupotme look into it. Nice
Fitment for this says they are Colorado only but I have a Canyon. Anyone able to install these on a Canyon?
withinavoid I do believe they fit. Do some research on the coloradofans.com forums. I’m pretty sure someone put these on their Canyon.
Cool thanks found a thread on coloradofans they do fit, funny they dont advertise it though. @@fondupot
I'll bet if you have the mudguards these flares won't fit.
The Car Crazy Guy good question. I am not entirely sure.
Chevrolet says you are correct. They will not fit with mudguards.
I do believe the weather tech mud flaps will fit...I ordered mine and it asked if I had fender flares or not. And by the way weather tech mud flaps are no drill and look great....just sayin!
I’ve been wanting these, but my service advisor talked me out of it because he said guys are coming in because the flares are coming off.
George S never heard that. If you prep the arch well the adhesive is gonna stick really well. Plus they are bolted...
I went to gmpartsdirect.com found the flares great price...but what's with the $281.00 for shipping? so obviously not ordering.
I found genuine GM flares on eBay for $333 shipped.
awesome thanks
could you possibly give me the vendor name who you bought these from? there's so many and prices are all over the place...I just want to be sure I get the ones like you got...they look great
you need to level the truck out
I did eventually.
Personally, I don't like these flares. When I ordered my new Colorado recently, I made sure they were not on the truck. I dont like the look. Looks cheap. I did not want to add a piece of plastic to the body of my truck..LOL
To each his own. I personally like the way they look and enjoy the added protection to the fenders. Cheers.
@@fondupot I kinda get what he means but ultimately they do look better and help protect the truck. There are lots of other plastic parts on these trucks including bumpers, mirrors, bed railing, etc. Look at any offroad Tacoma and they have them.
Great video
Your garage floor epoxy is great also
Will these fit long bed?
Yes, I think so.
What kind of bull bar you have?
Eway Rendon i dont have any bull bar at all.
What model is that tuck
