OEM Fender flares and side molding 2000-2006

[WrenchGuy]

the molding is just 3m and peels. the flares are clips on the fender lip and 3m. go buy a 3m stripe off wheel to remove the 3m tape. you'll thank me later.

Cool just what I figured.

one more...

I have the dark blue color o you think there will be evidence of removal? I'm just curious if you will be able to see that I took them off. Like the paint will be newer looking where the panels were.

Thanks for replying!

Oh yeah same color as yours! Whats the after look like?

mines black. YES, you can tell you pulled them off. not b/c of the paint color but because of a fine hairline deep scratch at the top of where the flares/molding was. dust, dirt, sand, grit gets in there and rubs a scratch into the paint. you cant see it till you get up close but once you do its noticeable.

im going to pay to have a well done PROFESSIONAL detail done to it to see if some of it can be fixed. with all that being said, i still dont regret pulling them off. it still looks light years better than it did with them on there.

Yeah I figured it might need a buff out or something.
