Default Opinions on fender choice...

I've been contemplating on cutting my fenders or just buying different ones. I know I want to go slimmer than stock and want more clearance!!! I'm open for ideas or if anyone has something to trade or sale I'm up for suggestions, thanks Clay... I'll post a pic of it currently so maybe that can help!!!

Cut them first, then if you like them, you saved money for other mods. If you don't like them, buy new ones as you planned.

Cut them, and I use Black Magic on an applicator pad for all my plastics... They still look brand new, yea the faded plastics is one of my only complaints on Jeeps.

I've seen stock fenders being sold on here on the cheap. Cut those, then if you mess up or don't like it, you still have yours. I've also seen ones already cut for sale on here.

Cut the stock ones. Aftermarket fenders seem more flimsy...
