    I bet the paint is removed due to the flares scratching the paint as a result of the flares vibrating against the body panels at speed. Kind of like the mudflaps did to my truck. Plus it would leave holes behind, probably look silly w/o a good bit of body and paint work.

    If you remove the OE fender flare you will have hole on the body panel. Those are the holes that hold the fender flare with clips along with some screws.

    i'm hoping 2.5-3" total. still in the process of making them now. he also said that he will leave the cutouts for larger tires built into the new flares too.
