Yep, that good advise. That is how I did mine. I Spent a little while getting the tape outline even then used a hacksaw blade WITHOUT the hacksaw, and it came out very nice. Then used sandpaper to finish shaping it out. It is bestway I know of. :cool:

I used 120 180 grit just to round out any sharp edges then used 220 grit to feather the rest out. Then I used some Amore-all to moisen the plasic back. Ever since then it has not turned that white-ish again:) .
(I tryed to load up a pic of mine but could not get it to work)

u used a torch and melted the sides, its really smooth and isnt any other shade of black than the rest of the quad
Yeah, I'm associated with the 2. Heh... Dutch.. We call him Skreech(next time you see him, note the resemblence from Saved by the Bell).
I didnt make it out last night. Wish I could've though. I miss it. Be back in action soon.

Just wondering, why do yall (or any one) cut the fenders? doesn't all the dirt/ mud/ water fly up all over you?

The reason I shaved mine off is because ever since I saw one liked that years ago, I thought it looked "trick" and I really liked it. And still do!
I does splatter some more mud on you then normal, but I really don't like riding in mud wholes anyways. I just like "hauling @$$" on the dirt trails. :p :devil :p

i only did it because there was e melted places in the front fenders from where the previous owner got too close to someones 4 wheeler and the fact that i had just bought new fenders but i like it so well that the new fenders might have to get trimed a little too
