Or you could just cut the factory ones.. And if you trash one on the trail, you can find them in Craigslist for 20 bones...

I go back and forth about cutting my stock fenders but I just don't think I could bring myself to cut up some perfectly good fenders.

Aren't you just going to trash them if you replace them anyway? I'd say its worth a shot... There is a really good instructional You Tube video on it that will take some of the fear out of the first cut...

You make a good point, but I don't know if I would trash them or not. I guess there is no reason in keeping them as I doubt I would put them back on. Like I said I go back and forth on whether I want to try cutting or just buying. I need to figure this out soon because I hate the look of the stock flares.

Try cutting. I'm still looking to replace my stocks, but they look great cut!
