Default Who trimmed the stock flares?

I have seen a few pics of stock flares trimmed for more clearance but I cant find the pics now. Anyone have any info on how and what to trim?

He is a moderator and is only a modulator when he talks on his CB! PUDDLZ had his trimmed although they weren't exactly the prettiest thing in the front.. The rears looked good but the fronts looked like the side view of a cheese grater. Sorry GREG

Tape it off the way you like it and cut it with a hacksaw. Sand smooth. take them to you favorite body shap to be repainted (free for me) and bolt them back up.

I know I know I should have done a detailed write up. A.D.D. kicked in and I was done before I knew it.

No. I cut the markers off. The front of my current fender is right at the edge of the rear of the marker lamp

I get asked about his ALOT! no one else has done it yet. If anyone is serious Send me a pm I will walk you through the whole thing. This mod is not for the weak. It does include a hacksaw to an expensive part!
