I have found a 2015 Colorado almost exactly like I want. It is scheduled for delivery to the dealer on 07/13. The only problem is that it comes with the wheel flares. I have 2 questions:

1. How hard are the flares to remove?

2. Is there any residual damage to the vehicle once I remove the flares?


TIA for you thoughts.

Do you have a strong objection to the wheel flares?

FYI, I think some have said the wheel flares, while a factory option, are actually shipped with the truck for installation by the dealer, so you may be able to resolve this issue without too much trouble.

I could be wrong, but these might be a dealer installed item. If they are, you will simply just ask the dealer to not install them.

They are not hard to remove. They have a perimeter of double stick around the exterior edge, and a 4/6 screws F/R that secure thru the inner wheel well lip, also securing wheel liners.

Excellent! Thanks for all of the quick responses.

I am not a fan of the flares except on a black truck. I'm planning to get a Laser Blue truck so I do not want them.

Sorry guys,

The dealer that has the vehicle sent me a quote ... get this ...

MSRP + Tax/Tag + $1199 Dealers fee.

Needless to say, I won't be buying this vehicle.

My truck happened to have the wheel flares on the options list, which I wasn't exactly excited about. Now that I have the truck I don't really notice or dislike them, and I didn't have to worry about messing up my fenders when I took it on it's maiden offroading trip in Lake Tahoe over the 4th. These trucks are great for trails by the way.

My flares came on mine when my dealer located my Colorado from another state. My first notion was to remove them but when it arrived and I saw them in person I liked the contrast they had against the Red Hot color. Mine came with the black tow edition and they seemed to flow with the black contrast them. I like them now.
