that trim looks like ass ryoken lol...

this is what i had with 4in and 36's

Basically i took a piece of tape, started at the rear of fender were it starts to arch down and followed that line down to the bottom of fender.

took a cut off wheel and cut the outer fender, then sawzall for inner.

Front i cut flat under the core support and rounded the edge. The edge looks squarish in this pic but it got smoothed out.

Just get some tape up there and go to town








same lift and 42's

Thanks everybody i cut them last night and i must say the look awesome, a friend came and helped me, it only took a 12 pack too, i now have no rubbing from turn to turn, im goin to try a little wheeling this evening and see how that goes, let me just say that the help i have gotten in just a few posts have more than paid for the $25 member fee i will be renewing no doubt

Get some 14 gauge sheet metal ,some tin snips,Rivit gun and some silicone and black spray bomb and extend your INNER fenders to cover up the holes
