I like them. Something different that doesn’t break the bank!

I wish they came up a little more. It looks like I’m going to have a gap compared to the stock flares.

Maybe when you do the other side you can cinch the hood down more?

I probably won’t get around to passenger side until 2 weeks from now

Quick update. There’s no where to mount the stock air intake box Windstar air intake coming it is.

That's too bad. When I emailed and asked they said their test truck had a K$N CAI but you should be able to make it work. I didn't gain a lot of confidence from that answer.

Don’t see why you couldn’t modify things and get the stock to fit since they’re not HiLines, unless they did something wild with the inner. I’ve seen some guys get the stock box in with HiLines.

That's been my thought, but this makes me question it. I'm thinking I'll just stick with my original plan and get the GRs using factory inners. I mean if I was going to have to relocate everything and replace my factory intake anyway, I'd just go hilines.

I’ll need to drill holes on the inner fender to be able to hold down the fuse box. Air box does fit but no where to mount it to.

A bracket will need to be made in order to work with the stock box.

Bolts were not provided for the 3 holes in the circle. The inner fender and outer fender can be bolted together here.

Exactamundo.

It was mostly a breeze installing my GR 4” on factory inners. Only issue is cutting enough off the battery tray and auxiliary trays to beat the factory wall back enough to get the three bolts on each side at the firewall started.

I still want highlines but cant afford them at the moment. These artec fenders were affordable.

Are you looking for these? I just need time now.

I reached out to GR the other day to get a copy of the instructions to see what it looked like. I go through moments where I'm hesitant to cut up the fenders because i can't sell them or go back. And then I realize why would I ever go back? And plus, they're custom painted so they're going to be less desirable to most people anyway.
