Removing Fender Flares

[CanuckRanger]

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.
My 2006 Sport with no flares:

i think it was standard issue to drill holes for the flares i have 94 and i took the flares off and they were drilled but im getting ready to weld them up amd paint it so im not concerned

Does the same apply to an 2004 ford ranger edge? I want to remove the flares to fit larger tires.

Yes still applies to 04, mounting holes behind the flares

Please explain to me just how exactly you think they would be attached in a manner that makes them secure but does not mean holes in the fenders?
