do a search next time but...electrical tape,and a razor blade...make the outline with the electrical tape and cut it...then after your done go over the edges with a lighter or torch to bring back the natural plastic color

step 1- shaving cream, smear it on your fenders..........

haha jk

we used a grinder for mine, but we used a really really thing blade then outlined where we wanted cut with electrical tape and just cut along that line. its not very hard, just patience and time!

i wouldnt use a razor blade, use electrical tape to outline where u want to cut because the tape can stretch and round off,

Cut it with a saw zaw deal or something elextric and a blade moves really fast up and down:macho

i used hedge clippers and a hack saw, i didnt use much as a line just drew a line w/ a sharpie

if your cutting them like me theres kinda a defined line but if your cutting them like wave-like u may need more boundry lines as suggested before

I used a hacksaw for the front, and a dremel for the curve on the backs of the front, mine turned out great IMO

i used tape to tape off a line... then cut about 1/2 inch away from the line with a saw saw... then i got a wood planner (i think thats what its called) and pushed that along the ends and shaved them down flat with the tape... it gave me a perfect straight edge...
