This maybe the stupidest question. I'm new to the quads(always had bikes)what is with the front fenders cut off, it looks cool and how do I get them. Do you buy them or cut them yourself?

Most cut them themselves. It cuts down on wind resistance an keeps your goggles muddy. :D

Make yourself a template out of a piece of cardboard or even posterboard. Just flip the template over to do the opposite side.

use a dremel drill...and the point is cuz i looks cool and it helps you see exactly where your tires are going. That way you dont hit sumthin and wreck, or pop a tire.

The main reason is for looks though. It also makes a differance when you jump huge, but I never have a problem placing my front end exactly where I want it. If mine crack, I will trim them though.
