Glad ya like the rack! Wipe it down with Aerospace 303 every couple months it will stay like that.
I took the stickers off mine too, I like it all black. It's really easy to scratch the black paint behind the sticker, so take it really slow and gentle if you're using a razor blade.
I just had to have that exact same area trimmed to fit my new rims which stick out much further than OEMs. Trimming on the rear part of front wheel well is usually done by bashing the living tar out of the bolt head right there at the bottom of the well. I know there was no problem bashing the bolt back a little, and I'm guessing no problem for you either with cutting it off, but not sure.
I just realized what stands out and makes your new tire/rim set up really pop .… it's the rim striping that matches the Foxfire….I've only seen that in red before, but that looks awesome!

I dont know how much trimming or how it was supposed to be done, I knew how to trim the front of the cladding but not the rear so I ended up cutting some metal which I hope isnt important.
Yes yes I am in Mexico now, its been almost 4 years since I moved back to Mexico City, I miss Wisconsinian winters full of snow!
