Default Putco Chrome Fender Trim

Well, first of all, here's my truck...




So, what I wanna do is to get the Putco brand of chrome fender trim to finish off my lower chrome trim look. My question is has anybody gotten these and what's the installation process? Do they have 3M tape and/or their own hardware?

I'm wondering because I wanna know if I can do this myself, or should I have it professionally done at our local auto trim mart. (They already installed my Rocker panels and Tonneau cover.)

Oh, I should add that I have those thin painted to match factory fender flares already.

Don't know about the wheel well moldings , but I bought the putco chrome window sill moldings, 3m tape on those. Took me about 45 minutes to install the four pieces on my Super crew. Wasn't bad at all, just be sure to have molding lined up exactly before adhering tape to the truck surface.

Well, the brand I ended up getting is Carracts (sp?). It's the only one that specified differences for the factory OEM flares and no flares. I have OEM flares, so I ordered the ones for OEM flares and they appear to only be like half of what the Putco trim pieces look like and they supposedly use hardware clips to install, so we'll see. Should get them the first half of the week here, so I'll see how they install.

Also getting my windows tinted this week too. I think. Got a shop in town ran by an old school mate, who just happens to be a cop as well. Imagine that....a window tinting shop ran by a cop... He even does the 5% tint version. But I'm just looking to match my rear window tint. I assume it's the 35% kind, right?
