LBZ: Fender Flares Removed?

[Combine Pilot]

My 06 GMC has some paint coming off in a few places near every fender flare and i am thinking maybe i should just take them off. I am going to do some kind of bedliner on my rocker panels (Monstaliner or Raptor) and thought i could take the flares off and get the paint touched up before i do that. Can the flares be removed without too much trouble? Has anyone else pulled the flares off their truck? If so, could you post a pic or two?

P.S - I'd really like to see white GMC CCSB trucks if possible. Not to be fussy.

I'd also like to see this, been thinking about doing it.

Think Brian took them off of his RC/LB I was thinking of doing this to my truck as well for a different look.

I'd get a 3m eraser wheel for the glue residue if there is any. Worked great when I removed the door moldings, I'd say its the same gluey tape holding them on.

willing to bet they are packed full of mud when ya remove them

I have them removed off my 07 and abby, lik e the look.
I pulled them off my 05 and installed the bushwacker pocetflares ( waste of time , imo) and never had any glue from any of the trucks?

id suggest using the 3m foam spray before u re-install to keep all the shit out.

abby was packed full of shit that was there for years!

I took them off on my white 03 GMC and like the look. I didn't use a 3M wheel I just use a heat gun and a plastic putty tool(the smooth soft plastic one used for decals) with great luck. Those wheels worry me but then again I might be anal when it comes to that kind of stuff.

Don't the flares come off by pulling them push clips out? My trucks getting painted in a couple weeks and need to take them off aswell!

Yes, that is correct. You will also have to seperate the little strip of 3M double sided tape they use at the factory. It will come off just have to pull.

My truck didnt have any 3m tape just the clips and it looked grear but my tires stuck out to far and were destroying my paint

Flat head screw driver will get the clips holding the flares on out pretty easily. I pulled mine off a month ago and loved the look but not the amount of scratchesd and scuffs that were left behind because of the vibrations that occured with driving and what not. If your not 100% sold on taking them off just have them paint matched and you will get a clean look.

[ChevyDieselLLY]

Wow Dustin your truck is super clean. I like the look with out the flares

i removed my textured flares on my 02 last year so they had been on for 10 years and it wasnt a big deal, used a eraser wheel to get adhesive off, also if anyone here is removing their white flares and have paint code 8624 im looking to purchase, thanks

 

[carter_44]

Anyone that has removed their flares or is considering removing them...I am looking to buy a set of smooth flares that can be painted. If they are smooth and painted white already that would even be better. I would probably even consider the textured. Let me know.

 

[The End]

I can take some pictures if you need.

 

[The End]

I have the black textured one carter, where are you located?

 

[carter_44]

I'm currently in southern Colorado. What would you need for them?

 

[The End]

PM me.

I just pulled mine off last weekend with plans of painting them but i may just leave them off. I havent decided which look i like better.
