For the rears, just grab and yank. For the fronts, undo the 4 or so bolts out of the support and grab and yank. I love the look but it's a fuggin mess when it's wet/ muddy.

Thought about doing this too but the pic with all the mud inside might have just changed my mind.

And it's illegal depending on your state. The cops got on my ass a few times in WA when I was waiting for my Wild Boar flares.

I think it looks awesome but it would never pass inspection up here in pa. Cops wouldn't like it a whole lot either.

Should be nothing more than fixit ticket. Easy to snap em back on. I highly doubt you'd get pulled over specifically for flares.

Would be okay down here in Oklahoma. But I'm not sure how much you will like the look without them on. It looks somewhat unfinished

Do they really just snap right back in? I've wanted to take mine off just to see what it looks like but I was afraid they had those one time use clips holding them on

If you take your time, you might get most of them out without breaking. Re-installing is quick and easy.

If you break too many, just go out to clipsandfasteners.com.
