dont like my stock fender flares, alternatives?
i want to take my stock flares of but i dont know what i want to do in replacement. i was thinkin just cut the fenders a bit atleast in the front and go naked. if i could see some good pics of cut fenders that'd be great. im not really sure what else would look good on there i'd love to see what some of you guys did with your fenders just lookin for ideas thanx

bushwhackers look good if you have big tires.
i mean, 33x12.5 on an 8 inch rim with as low as 3.75bs looks ugly cause the flares stick out further than the tire.
but with 36x13.5 on 10 inch rim with 3.0bs looks good. but the tire sticks out a couple of inches past the flare. thus protecting the bushwhacker from hitting trees/rocks.
if you're running mud, go with stock flares, cut and raised.
if you're running rock, go naked.

Cut like so:
Trace around the top of the fender flare with a marker, remove the flare and cut the line. Those are 35's. When I got out to take this picture I noticed that I had a bit of rubbage on that front corner but that's because I just lowered it back down 2 inches.
