The labels shouldn't get in the way.

I cut my front fenders last weekend. Had no problems other than I did it at 12 at night, so I know I could have done better. I didn't have any problems with the labels. Just outline where you want to cut with electrical tape and start cutting. Took me about....30 minutes I would say.

Just follow the natural lines of the quad (right at the peak of the up slope before it goes flat) and cut along it. It won't intercept the warning labels.

If you do want to take the warning labels off don't be afraid to wedge a screwdriver under there, turn it sideways and pull up. Most likely the rivets will still be in so just take a screwdriver and push them the rest of the way though

I think it would look cool, and they don't provide all that much protection on the sand anyway? because whenever i go and pin it from a stop, sand always goes over my shoulders. so I don't see that point of them? I just want to look different.:devil:
