How did they turn out? Any paint cracking? Pics would be great. Thanks

 

Yep. I love mine! They turned out great. No cracking or other issues. The hardest part is getting the nerve to make the first cut :-)

 

I love the outcome of mine and yes it's extremely scary to make the first cut but once thats done its smooth sailing.

 

I love the look of them guys! I have painted ones too and they look so boring. Does cutting the edge off affect the strength--do they flap in the wind?

 

No flapping on mine. You leave the structural support under the fender in tact on the front to keep it rigid. Just to be sure I used a little JB Weld to glue the two pieces together to make sure it doesn't flap around on the interstate but I don't think it's necessary.

Just start out at the widest part of the fender so if you sneeze or something while cutting and don't cut a straight line you have room for a second cut. My philosophy was if I screw it up I can just buy Bushwacker flares.

Go for it!!!

 

Thanks for the replys. I cut the black ones before, just wanted to make sure there was no issue with the paint.

 

I've been thinking about doing this for over a year. My best idea so far is maybe spray a few coats of plastic dip where I want to do the cut. Maybe that will stop any chance of the paint chipping. Then I'll peel it away and glue the edge piece down.

 

How did you finish the cut edge off?

 

Door edge molding.

 

No problems. Used door molding also..
