Default Fender Chop

Well since everyone was so kind to talk me into getting 35's with my 2.5 life i need some direction toward chopping my stock fender. Any pointers or posting any existing threads on how to do so would be great. I love the way the chopped fenders look but wont have the cash to put out for all of that.

Definitely do a search, Reds write up is the one to see.

One suggestion I took from one of the other members was very good. And that is before anything else, grab a roll of tape and try a ton of different styles out. Mostly to determine how much you want to cut off.

Definitely get the door trim for the edges from your local auto parts store, only a few dollars.

I did mine a lot like interceptors, nice job on the painted flares there

I left my front liners in (trimmed a bit), and used some leftover duplicolor to black out the rear wheel wells. Makes it a lot more visually pleasing to me than seeing the factory paint color and the engine/components...
