Default chopped fenders

Well guys finally chopped the fenders, took about day with 3 people well 2 one decided to be on his phone all day anyways, almost complete just need to paint the inner fender wells in the rear and somehow attatch the front ones, or maybe leave em off not sure. The front covers have 5 tabs but the rear part closest to the doors is flappin in the wind, ya i know should of measured correctly. Anyways done! Not perfect but better then stock and better then 500 bucks for aftermarket any ways...any ideas on the front well liners?

Looks good. I can't tell did you put trim on the edges? If not auto zone or any other auto store sells door trim to put on to make it look alittle more finished.

This door trim shiz needs to be replaced sometimes as well.

After a winter it starts peeling off and looking rather unsightly. But for the first few months, and even from a distance it still looks great.

Looks good! I went a little higher in the front and didn't use door trim. I figured it would just get ripped off in the woods. I didn't put the inner fenders back in but I did use some expanding foam in the space behind the tires to keep it from packing with mud and gravel. I didn't paint or line the rear wells, either. Looks kinda CJ-ish body color, IMO.

There's a black expanding foam used in those backyard pond things. I got mine at Home Depot.
