How do you trim your stock fenders to give them the race look? What tools would you use to cut them?

Jig Saw.
I used my electric grinder with a metal cuttoff wheel.. t'was like a knife through butta.

I use some tape to mark off the area on both sides and made sure they looked the same and then cut with a jig saw following the edge of the tape. Then took some sand paper and smoothed the edges.

take a jig saw and cut about 1/4 of an inch away from the line u drew on the plastic... when u get done take a wood planer and take teh plastic off with that a lil at a time... it will make it perfectly straight and give it a stock look... my fenders look like they came from the factory!

I used a jigsaw. You can either mark it off with a magic marker or electrical tape to cut along the line.
You should cut off little by little untill you get use to cutting. Once your done you can use a lighter or sandpaper to finish off the edges.

I cut them to the top of the bend. In the front I curved then back so it doesn't have points. I will try and post a pick soon.
