Default Taking off fenders

Im thinking about taking off my fenders. What does that process look like and are they easy to put back on if I don't like them off?? Will it look clean if I take them off or will the paint be messed up/ will there be holes from screws?

Thanks

Fender flares? pretty easy but you will end up having the brackets that holds the flares sticking out which are riveted to the fenders. To take those out you have to drill out the rivets. check it out: http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f11/b...27/index8.html

What year jeep you got. The fenders are held on some bolts that are generally easy to take off when they aren't seized on. I've done it several times. Go by a wheel put your hand behind the liner and you'll see the said bolts. I have an 01 I just had to undo bolts no drilling needed

Ponder through this and you'll see my 96 with the fenders off and some trim.
