Cutting for Metalcloak fender flares

[James Kitt]

Looking to mount my mod cut metal cloak fender flares.
I want to mount them a bit different than normal. I would cut all the body still in the flare.
That way the read fender flare kind of tampers off. I have some options I’m thinking of.
Has any one seen flares mounted like this before?
And what do you think of these mounting options? One is stock, one is angled that I would modify.
If you have seen this done, please Post photos!

Why cut? Is the body in the way?

37s that start to rub when flexed

Cycle the axle without springs and cut out what is in the way. Watch out for the spot welds.

Option#2 looks really dumb, btw.

Yep, I agree with what he said. Cycle the axles and remove what needs to be removed, watching out for the welds.

Of course it look dumb without anything being notched to line up.
cant hurt to ask what people have done

Option #2 will look really dumb when you are finished and fully installed.

I have not seen them done like that before. I'm curious to see how it turns out.

Have you considered raising the whole fender, still flat, up like this?

FWiW...

That’s another idea!

I think it looks more aesthetically pleasing. Also, it would provide more clearance than the angled approach.

1st pic is similar to the cut jjvw required in the rear. cocked is kinda funky.
if you need more room i'd go 1/2 straight up, see what that nets.
as mentioned, cycling the axle and taking just the minimum is all that's required.

This is what I’m thinking.
I like the raised straight up idea..

That looks much better. Looking forward to seeing it completed.

Definitely better moved straight up. Be sure to post some pics of it finished.

Careful of the spot welds as mentioned.
