It is possible, but it would be a bunch of trouble. First of all removing it from the fiberglass panels would be tricky. Sometimes they will come off OK, but you take a chance of damaging the outer surface. About the only fool proof way would be to cut away at it leaving a little flashing on the inside of the fenders and then carefully prying or grinding off the rest. I dont know about you, but I dont care much for climbing into that fender well and getting all of that fiberglass down the back of my neck.
