TRD Pro, how to remove OEM fender flares?

[james cole]

Hello guys,

Not a fan of the black fender flares plus they are poorly finished, wondering if they are easy to remove so that I can repaint them same colour as the rest of the body…

Thanks!

not hard to do , fronts r harder
u can buy them pre painted at Rough Country $600.oo in the OEM color of your choice
Which might b cheaper than a local auto body shop doing the paint work
$300.oo for unpainted is what i got as i like the black mat look on my silver metal flake RS5
they have 3 different styles of flair depends on tire poke as for coverage
i got the most coverage ones & love them as my thrown mud problem went away

Super easy to remove. There are 8 or so 10mm bolts that are installed along the inside perimeter of the flair. Remove all of these screws, and just PULL on the fender flair straight out and away from the fender. It will pop off nicer and easily. There are 10 or so plastic clips that hold it onto the metal. But they pop off easily.
