So i see everyone trimming there fenders on their jeeps. But i have only ever seen it done on x and rubicon models with the plastic flares. Is it possible to do this on sahara model with the painted flares? Has anyone done this? Pics? Probably a noob question but i wasn't sure and figured someone one here has tried it seen it or knows what can and can't be done

 

I think the paint would chip if you were to try that on sahara fenders. Id prolly paint them with bedliner afterwards if i was to cut mine

 

kinda was thinking of that and a few other problems with the materials they used. I am just really interested to see if someone actually has. and and seeing what it looks like

Some have cut them and install weather stripping around the edges. Doesn't look too bad. The alternative would be to just repaint the fenders

glad to know i'm not the only one wondering. free mods are always nice.

ill have to look into the weatherstripping idea thanks for the input guys.

 

There are people that have used the same write up as Reds to cut their Sahara, and they turned out just as good. I would assume as long as you cut along your tap line, there shouldn't be any issues with the visible paint after you put the trim on. I am probably going to do my Sahara fenders once I get the money set aside for Bushwackers as a backup, lol.

 

i have a sahara and plan on trimming mine soon. i haven't been able to find many pictures of painted-trimmed fenders.
