Have a question? Is the oem flares hard to remove. And r they hard to remove. I looked at the fenders underneath and they r pretty decent but not perfect. Any info would be greatly appreciated

They are easy to take off. Put back on is another story. I snapped so many bolts taking mine off that I got mad when the bolts didn't snap

The oem flares are easy to remove. Very hard to get back on right with the inner fender plastic fighting you while your trying to hold the flares down so the metal brackets squeeze them to the body.
Then sections of the flares will still pop out from behind the brackets so you have to loosen all five bolts and try again.

Yea I'm just wanting them off and not putting back on. Probably cut the fenders as. Well

Lol I heard that well I took mine off and the fenders have surface rust but no big deal. And I didn't have one bolt break. Lol so I guess I got lucky lol

Mine came off fine till I bent all the studs with my tire tucking...

If you want to run any aftermarket flares don't cut tell you get the flares.

I pulled all of mine off and i'm very happy with it. My brackets were starting to rot and it was going to migrate to my fenders at some point, so I don't have to worry about the now.
