    Has anyone painted there flares a different color. I have an implulse red taco and i think painting them black (or plasti dip, rhino line) would look pretty sick. Anybody have any pics and how hard are they to remove?

    Try the search, there's been a bunch of threads on this topic already. Might have some good info for ya.

    As for removing the flares, it's easy, but the clips break. You'll have to get more from Toyota. Also, masking the rubber gasket that runs around the top edge of the flare is a real pain! But make sure you do it well, 'cuz getting overspray off of them is even MORE of a pain!
