Is it friction or adhesive that holds it on?

Rears done. Ran out trim. My pack only had 14ft in in need some for the last rear fender. Get it later. Looks pretty good for a DIY mod.

I glued under the fender to the skeleton to help with any flap etc. Anyway I had a front fender blow right off on the highway doing 120 km. I had to stop and run about 300 meters back to rescue it from the lane(rush hour). Fender was hit by a few cars but did not take too much damage. I have now added a bolt to each securing to the skeleton. Just a warning for anyone who hits higher speeds - the clips alone are not safe. Lady cop who arrived on scene was nice enough to ignore inspecting the jeep for unsafe illegal mods.

I used a bimetal blade on mine and traced my line with paint pen. Cut came out pretty darn straight instead of using the trim pieces I went ahead and used a orbital sander with 400 grit to smooth it out and then 800 to round and shine it up. A little plastic polish (novus red bottle) and a terry cloth towel it looks factory.

Just a thought for someone looking to just finish it and not cover the edges.

This is barely enough to get me into this thread but it was all I needed to prevent rubbing while offroad.

Hears my tape line to guide my cut

I don't have a pic of it, but I painted the fender wells black. Most people wouldn't even know I trimmed them. I didn't do the fronts, they only rub if I disconnect my sway bar. I may do a more aggressive trim later on both the front and rear and upgrade to 35s. :-)
