2007 Tahoe Z71 Fender Flare removal...

Grant Ryznar · Mar 27, 2017

I'm curious to know if I take the fender flares off if the back will be flush or are there parts that are there that can't be taken off because it's a Z71. I'm just not a fan of them.

Once you remove the flares, you will have the stock fenders like on non Z71s

I think there will be an issue with the front since the front bumper cover is different from a normal Hoe/Burb.

@DaRosa218 just did this, no problems at all and looks great.

How did you get the double sided tape off and also make it so clean?

From just debadging my tahoe the other i can tell you its a pia. Fingers, wd-40, 3m adhesive remover, and many rags. Some guys use a drill and some 3m pad but i dont trust myself enuff and would probly burn thru the paint.....patience, perseverance, elbow grease and some polish and wax brother...

I was nervous about the 3M Eraser wheel at first, but if you run your corded drill under 3000 rpms and just touch the wheel to the panel and let the wheel do the work. I didn't apply any force that wasn't needed other than to hold it up against the body. It will leave a white sticky residue ( it did on me) that came right off with WD40 and a cloth. Watch some Youtube videos and watch those guys. After I removed all the glue and rubber residue, I put a foam pad in my drill and some polishing compound and finished it out. Can't even tell anything was there.

IKR, if you are lucky enough to have a variable speed "old school" drill with a cord, it is easier to control the speed. Most cordless are two speed, on and off. YOLO, bust that orbital out and offer a buddy a hand with his wax job. :anitoof:
