Its bolted through inner lips of the fenders, that also hold the plastic tubs in place. You put the bolts back in place after removing the trim.

Mine was kinda stuck from all the grime and much. Took some paint off with it.. But the chrome stuff only causes rust.

no it's not drilled into the body but screwed inside the fender area. I took mine off and threw them in the garbage- they create a water trap in the rear and have rusted that whole rear fender rim.
Those things looked stoopid too me...

Get rid of them. They trap dirt and water and are a prime rust maker.
