Removing Fender Flares

CanuckRanger · 06-22-2012, 11:39 AM

I am looking at Removing the fender flares on my 2011 Sport, to give it a cleaner look. Has anyone else done this, and are there any things I should watch for, and finally, did they drill holes in the fenders for these flares? I know on my 2000 Eddie Bauer Ex the fenders were drilled.

There are large holes in the fender for the flares.
