I already purchased it when it went on sale but I didn’t see that option when I made the purchase though. 200-250 is good, 400 is reasonable but the 700 I was quoted is baffling.
Looks like painted is not for Rebel option anyway

I will say, with the spacers I have on, they do rub on full turn. I’m debating on trimming or just being cautious with my full turns. It wouldn’t be a major trim, about an inch off the inner side of the fender.

Just a follow up. I actually got mine painted and also got the bolts and washers painted and all in cost was 300.00. I wanted the bolts/washers blacked out. Turned out great. I do have a gap on the lower portion of the rear wheel well. Install was not difficult but somewhat painful. Removing the factory clips for the stock flares was cumbersome. I used an interior trim clip remover. I would research a more favorable tool for that job. I did not have to remove the wheels but did fight with the alignment of the holes of the new flares. Took about 3 hours start to finish. I would also highly recommend using an awl to align the metal fender and wheel liner holes before trying to install the new flares. Mine became misaligned when I removed the stock flares.

Nice. If you get a chance, you mind posting a picture? I’d like to see how it looks with the bolts/washers blacked out.

Personally I think matt black powder coat may be more durable. But I really like the looks of the colormatch. Have to see how well they hold up. Had to be careful using assembling to keep from marking them up.

I think the color match looks good, especially what you’re going for, all blacked out. Looks nice and clean

For sure. Hope these help. They are the 3/4” mini led from Amazon. I’ll post the link of the ones I bought. Same ones I have on the grill. The hole I drilled was a bit bigger since the rubber sleeve around the led, so about a nickel in size. I did insert the wiring through the existing holes from the plastic rivets since they’re not being used and then through the wheel well. I also used wire harness to easily connect and disconnect in case I have to replace the leds. Not sure how long they last. Any other questions, just let me know.

Looks good.
where did you get that pice of black trim between the bumper and the fender flare.. on my rebel I had to remove that section for my Bushwacker flares.
