how do i take stock fenders off?
I tried prying them off with a screw driver, but they're not budging! I don't want to break anything. Any help would be much appreciated.

The flares are held on with a TON of 10MM bolts. Be prepared as you will break EVERY single one. You will have to get creative to re-install the flares once the bolts break off the strips.

i actually just got them all off no problem. nothing broke or stripped. the only pita part was taking the plastic thing inside the front wheel wells off. other than that, no problems.

yea, i had to haha. the 10mm nuts on the front were covered by the wheel liner. the only way to get to them was to take it off. just the bolt was sticking through the wheel liner, but the nut was covered by it.

A 10mm ratcheting tip should be able to fit through there. The wheel well material is a pretty soft rubber that you can pretty much just bend out of the way.

shoot... my inner fender just fell apart when i touched it... for real... handed a piece to a buddy and told him to brake it... but when he grabbed it from my hand it broke all apart... i just broke it all out of there since it was leaving pieces all in the drive way from my tires rubbing when i got bigger ones... crappy material...
