Fender cut without adding plastic edge trim
I decided to take the leap and cut my fenders, but never liked the look of the plastic edge that some apply to cover up the cut edge. I figured I would take my time and try to get a clean finish that required no trim. Well to my surprise, it turned out not so bad. I started off by buying a pneumatic jig saw from Harbor Freight, took my time cutting, then did multiple stages of sanding 
for the finished product.

Just wanted to say that these are the best I've seen so far. I've been in the body shop business for over 35 years and though modifications like this wouldn't be hard to do, I never saw a set done so cleanly so I never even considered it.
After seeing yours, guess I'm going to have to break out some tools and paint.
Very nice!
