Question Bushwhacker Pocket Style - Install?

Hey guys - I just got my bushwhacker pocket style flares - I think they'll really look great, once I get em' on. When I put them up on the back fender for a "rough fit" - it looks like the clearance between the flare and the body will be about 1/4" or so - because to me, it looks like the indentation on the body and the protrusion on the flare don't exactly match up like they should. I was just curious how some of your installs have gone and what they ultimately looked like - do all of your flares fit flush with the body all the way around? Have you had to cut or modify the flare to ensure proper fit? I just want to do this whole thing right the first time, so thanks in advance for your help - post or pm me!

Have you tried to switch them around. Sometime when they are on the wrong side they don't fit like they should? Othertimes I've had to set them up there and then when I bolt them down give them a push inwardto seat them.. I've never had to trim them..???
