wanting to cut fenders but dont want to mess them up

[2004400exa]

i wanna cut my fenders but i dont wanna mess up and buy new ones what should i do

[chris400]

tape them up the way you want them, and cut them. its not hard, just do it and if they look bad, go over it and sand it real good.

This is what i did.


I took painters tap to mark my cut. Once I saw how I wanted it to look I had my buddy hold the outside of the fender. I took an electric jig saw and made my cuts slow and even. Once all my cutting was done I took a hand held blow torch to the pastic edge I just cut. With a few quick motions I cleaned up the burs and the white marks.

It came out pretty good. I'll post a picture If i can find one.


I know some people use a razor or some kind of blade, but I didn't feel comfortable doing it that way.

I used a dry erase marker a took several trys to get the lines perfect and the same on both sides. Use a good cutting tool and then go over it with a new razor blade.

heres a pic of trx23riders 05 ex! we did everything armysig did, but instead of a torch we used a sand paper medium and used his little brother as slave labor to get the edges nice:devil: justkidding! the sand paper works well though if you dont feel comfortable torching your plastics!
