Mark where to cut with sharpie, bust out sawzall, cut away (make sure you're not cutting anything other than what you want I.E wires, supports,etc.) Sand down ragged cuts with fine grit. Easy to do, not very pretty. I'm sure someone else has better suggestion, sorry, all I could think of.

take your front fenders off, flip them over, follow a line you like with a Dry-Erase marker, cut with a dremel, and sand the edges, or get snowmobile windshield trim works great. Take little by little off of your fenders if you haven't found a line you like too.

I draw one side with a sharpie, don't worry it rubs off. I cut it off with a jig saw. I use a angle grinder, with the sandpaper flapper wheel to even it out and shape the corners. Once I am satisfied with the one side, I make a template with a newspaper and flip it over and trace it out on the other side. Repeat cutting and grinding until the two sides look the same. Then get out your sandpaper, sand away, round the edges, go up in grit until you are using a very fin epaper. If you take your time, it will look factory.
