Hey there,

In Australia ALL the explorers that came here have, what I think, are those ugly fender flares. Here is what they look like 97 Explorer .

I like the look of the US Explorers which don't have these flares. So, is there a way to remove them easily, ie. just a few bolts here and there or will there be holes in the body after I take the bolts out?

Thanks for any help guys.

 

Strange-lookin' Explorer. The rear flares look like our factory Premium Sport/ Eddie Bauer ones, but the front ones stick out much farther than anything Ford sells here in the states. Maybe it's just a distortion in the photo. Either way, yes, there will be holes (about 5-6) left in the fender when you go to remove these. It's why the larger flares and the standard smaller moldings are not interchangeable. You'll have some filling/ sanding/ painting to do there.

 

This is a little off topic but did any one notice the name of the store behind the explorer.
Ken, when did you go into the car sales business?

LOL, I didn't even notice!

 

i have a 94 EB sport and want to take off the "ground effects" so i can paint them. anyone done this? ialso want to paint the tan door trim at the bottom of the doors. it looks like it just pops off but i am not sure.

 

I had to replace on flare on my '95 eddie bauer

There are holes in the body for the clips that hold the flare on

 

cool so they just pop off then....any idea on the rocker panels? is this gonna be a mask it off and spray deal or what?

 

The holes go right thru the quarter panel. they are visible when the flare is removed

 

id like to have those flares how much you want for them?
