Default Trim on OEM Fender Flares

Reaching out to the community to see what has been used on cut stock fenders to clean up the edge. I've checked O'Riellys and Autozone with no luck. Any other name brand store ideas (no Walmart)?

Really? Nothing at The Zone? Most of us use black door edge guard/trim to cover up the cut lines. I picked mine up at Auto Zone for about $11-$12.

used a dremel, super easy even left everything on the jeep while I cut em. I sanded/filed the cut edge first with a metal file before installing the door trim. helps make it adhere a lil better. u gotta get the thickness down. if the trim starts coming off at speed, try sanding the area again that it came off of and reapply new door trim.

Maybe I'll try a few more locations.

I used a 4.5" metal cutting disk and angle grinder. Makes easy work of everything. Watch out for melted plastic and wear long sleeves, eye protection, and gloves
