DGpolaris2346 I like what I can see, do you have any side angle pictures? I cut mine similiar, I used a saw zaw.

I just thought about it but on trucks before with plastic valances, I have seen people use a soldiering iron with positve results. they used the rope cutting stlye of tip.

also like what you did with your floorboards, I may have to put mine back on. that way.

I didn't do my rears I had the same thinking as you, I tried to post em in my page but they never showed up. I'm waiting for some newer pic though from a friend with a digital camera before I try again. I need my own camera.

Good job on the fronts DG. The reason I would cut the back is they tend to flop around too much. You shouldn't have too much trouble doing the rear seeing how well you did the front. Looks nice.

Edit: I might not cut the back seeing now that you ride a lot of mud. You might get some thrown in your face from the front. Hope not though.

Yea i might just trim the rears a little bit but enough to get rid of the holes from where the mudflaps attached to.

Yea i wish i had a dremel because i would have used that. A dremel would have been faster and its more manuvarble(spelling) so i think it would be easier to make the round cut.

thanks for the angled pic.

now clean the plastic particles off your front tire. lol j/k man.

for anyone else if your fenders come out alittle choppy, use a sanding block or file (something that wont fall into an indent) to fix it. if you try sandpaper it will just sand into the indent you will be trying to get rid of.
