so im currently cutting the fenders on the 92 and figured why not start a thread on the different ways some people trim there fenders.

so if you've chopped your fenders (without covering them in fender flares) then post em' up.


also, figured it would help some people see the different ways to trim fenders

Plenty of room for 33x12.50's. Raw sharp edge has Door Edge Protectors available at Walmart and most auto parts stores. It's self adhesive and makes it look finished

What kind of tools did you guys use to get the cuts so nice and not hacked up looking?

patience.

you can do it with an angle grinder, a body saw(what i used), a saw-zaw heck even a dremel! its just all about taking your time

I was using an old power shear which worked great but the thing was old and dull so I starting using an angle grinder with a cut off wheel but it was a little difficult to make smooth corners with it.

I saw on here a guy made cuts all along his fender and just used a angle grinder w/ cut off wheel and hammered back the tabs that were left. That looked pretty good.

Thank you guys for this thread and the search tool. This will help me get my job done a lot faster.

I'll post picks when done.
