Anyone with experience, taking off 15+ Nismo flares?
 

Hey guys, new here. I ordered a 2017 Nismo, should be here in May. I hate the look of the fender flares and was wondering if anyone has taken them off and was it easy too do?

Gatz, shoot DPE G a PM. He has done this mod and a few others as well. Make sure to post some pictures of the new ride once you get it. :tup:

Thanks for the info. I will definitely post pics once I get it :D

I took mine off my Nismo -- found this link pretty helpful.

Factory Service Manuals - NICO Club

Go to page 32 of the document, pretty straightforward

don't be too hasty to make changes before you get the car.

factory ordered mine, picked it up yesterday....


absolutely left me speechless in person.

Nismo <3

I am jealous of your new car boner. Always quite a rush!

I've seen the car in person and obviously pictures. In my opinion it looks a lot cleaner without the little flares on the fenders 😊👍

New car boner is an awesome feeling lol

no, those flares need to go.

First, they aren't really flares. The way they're attached protrudes inward actually causes more rubbing and reduces wheel clearance.

second, they look stupid. Its cute trim for like a honda civic trim package for secretaries that wanna get a sporty looking ride. Its a joke for a real sports car.

They're attached with clips on the inside and some adhesive.

The sooner you do it, the easier it will be to take them off. I just used a small drill bit to drill out the rivets and there are parts that just have a regular screw. They all have double sided tape and this is the time consuming part, you have to be patient. I was able to use my fingers to peel and roll most of it off. For the stubborn parts I used Goo Gone on a microfiber because it's citrus based and won't harm the paint.
