Why do the racers cut their front fenders for? Where can you find those little plastic strips(under the radiator,above the tire, they are sort of cloudy colored) that they put their stickers on.

To see their front wheels.

Anybody have any ideas on a good place to cut the Raptor's front fenders?

Hey. Not really to see their front wheels, but to increase aero-dynamics. The front fenders catch alot of air, making it harder to jump. Cut them off, and you have less air deflection. You can tell a slight difference, but.. other than that.. it looks cool, gets you really muddy. lol.. Later

I cut my raptor front fenders a couple of weeks ago. I cut them right on the line oft he little hump on the feders. It looks awesome, it looks like it is factory. I think I might be the first person to hack their raptor fenders. I will have pictures asap.

I am cutting mine on that line also.

How would it look doing cutting it on the crease just past the reverse ****?

Did you remove the wires completely when you took the parking brake off or did you just unplug them?
