Its a fairly simple process man. The way someone else is going to do it is the same way you'd do it as well.

1. Research and find a pattern you like
2. print out a few pictures and take them to your quad
3.take some painters tape and tape off the pattern. You can use a tape measure to mark out some guidelines for your tape.
4. Step back 100 times and make sure the pattern is symmetrical on both fenders. It wont be the first time, you'll probably have to adjust the tape. Everyone does this.
5. Get a dremel and start cutting slowly in the plastic. TAKE YOUR TIME. If you rush you'll veer off course or slip and cut into the plastic you want to keep. Some people use a sawzall and file or sand the edges down later
6. If you want the factory shiny smooth edges I believe you can take a mini torch and sort of melt the end of the plastic. I saw this on another site and the plastic looks like its from the factory. DANGER: If you don't feel comfortable using a mini torch then skip this step. 99% of people don't do it anyway.

That's really all there is too it. Just hang out, take your time, and its really simple. There is NO reason to pay someone to do it for you.

I'm not sure if they'd cut them for you but if they did it would cost you at least $100 since its a dealership lol... You're better off just getting them shipped to you and then cut them. Shipping won't change if you just give them a race cut as you'll still need a huge box for the plastic anyway.

yonkers. my uncle in new york will deliver. imagine the size of the box without them cut. and now imagine the size of the box when their cut. they will be almost flat when their cut. i need to save money. it cost me 60 dollars to ship home a tank cover that weighted very little.

well it's 3 hrs away. Yonkers is pretty much in NYC and not to many city folk have quads...lol

I wouldn't need a "quad" because i could just install them on on of our trikes since they are basically trx 450s anyways.

anyway i know it's far. just trying to help out since i saw you were not getting much of a response
