I am going to install side strakes. Therefore I have to pull off the front fender liner and the front flare. The dealership had installed the front flares for me before I bought the car. The question is: Other than the existing screws on there, do I have to remove any sticky tape or 3m tape? Thanks!!!

 

You only need to remove the lower section of the fender liner-just enough to pull it back alittle and stich you hand behand the fender and pop out the plastic vent. It has tabs that you depress to pop it our. Once you get your hand there, you can tell what I'm talking about.

Thanks everyone...
But I am talking about removal of the front flare. It is also screwed into the wheel well.
I know there are 4 screws you have to remove, but the 2 lower screws are now part of the flare. So, I guess the question I am asking is, does the flare also have sticky tape or other adhesives I should be cautious about.

 

Are you talking about the front bumper/airdam?

 

I am talking about the flare/mud flap that fits right in behind the front wheel. It is usually not part of the appearance package. But it looks just like the flare behind the rear wheel of the appearance package.
