Many people cut the fenders, it's cheap and easy to do. I did it while I prep my aftermarket metal fenders. Cut fenders give you the look and extra clearance. Metal fenders give you some protection.

I bet if you looked hard you could find a search button around here somewhere.

But here is a 12 page thread to get you going.

And a 70 page how-to.

Here are mine. Very easy to do! Just take your time and don't be scared. As many will tell you, the first cut is the hardest!
