If u take them off to paint them ull more then likely nvr get the back on. There a pita to reattach them and more then likely fall off, if u want to paint them just tape off around them and paint them on ur rig, or just keep em off completely, u can get iceland offroad flares, there only 250$? And look exactly like bw cutouts.

I'm in the same position. I wanna take them off because I like the look of tires wider than the body. Just gotta find time to do it! And trim the front bumper. All that plastic has GOT to go.

Yup, it's gotta be done sometime right... I looked at mine real quick yesterday, trying to figure out how they come off, but it started raining
