Will the 2008 Armada Fender Flares fit older model Armadas?
I like the thinner look and have been wanting to put on the Infinity ones, but didn't want to deal with cutting them or whatever you have to do to make them fit.

Here's my take on the Qx56 fender flares vs. the 2008 armada flares. I just finished installing the Qx56 flares and you have to do some cutting to the front flares because they go beyond the point where the bumper meets the fender and also a little cut down by the running boards. The rear flares are the same for both (no cutting on those). If you want to use the front mud guards you can with the Qx56 flares. Now with the 2008 armada flares the front flare you will also have to cut at the same point because there's no gap btwn. the bumper and the fender. On older models you have a 1" gap between the two. the front flare on the 2008 goes all the way down to the front air dam. btw if you want to use mud guards on the rear you will have to buy new mud guards for either the qx or the 2008 flares they are shaped different. Good luck
Sorry here are your pics.
Take a look at pic # 3 that is where you have to make a cut where the bumper meets the fender. It is a really easy procedure. To mark where you will cut you need to align the holes on the flare with the holes where the Mud guards go and then following the curves until you get to that point. Make the mark. I would suggest you cut 1/16'' bigger and then file it down until you reach your mark. I used a hack saw because a dremmel tends to melt the plastic. the next cut will be on pic. #2 where the flare ends right above the running board. this cut is really small just to make the board go all the way inn. I painted and installed these flare myself. body shops are charging in excess of 300.00 to do this and is real simple. Now behind the flare you will find clips which you will need to cut all of them to the floor. The flares are attached with double sided tape and screws in the inner wheel well
Your're right... Just don't have the time right now. I have been modding this truck steadily for 3 years and the wifey has been asking me to redo the kitchen for almost 2 years. It is her time now .
The 2008 front wheels Armada flares will not fit the previous years because the front bumper is slightly modified...The rears should be OK though...I will look closely when I park mine next to a previous model and measure it.
well i was actually thinking that you could by the rear flares for the armada and just buy the 08 titan flares for the front. the 08 titans still have the gap between the fender and the bumper cap. the 08 titan is still pretty much the same as the 04-07 armada.
Looks like the new '08 Fender Flare part #'s have hit the Service Depts. They come unpainted and are pretty pricey. There is also some drilling required on the fenders. In case you're wondering about the reliability of the source, Bodean is a Nissan Parts Mgr.
