I've used plyers and just pulled them off I the bottom o the fenders, and they came rite out. To fill te holes, I got mixable epoxy, and I stuffed that in all the holes. Than I waited for it to dry, and sanded the top of the fender where the eloxy is only so it was flush with the plastic. Tha. I just mixed spray paint and painted it on. Took a bit of time, but from a distance u can't notice it as long as u got the rite mix of paint. Also don't try to mix paint with the epoxy. It will turn to putty and never dry. I tried lol
