    I have a 4 month old TRD Sport and someone has hit it in the rear drivers fender flare. How hard is it to remove? Do you assume that new clips would be needed since I keep seeing that on all take offs that the clips are broke? Any help you could provide would be great. Thanks

    I just took my flares off and the clips seem almost like they are made to be used only once. You need to take out the fender liners to get to the back of the clips. I used a needle nose pliers to pinch the tabs on the clips to try and release them. Even though I did that I still had a few break. I ended up replacing most of them just to make sure they held on good.
