Cut Plastic Stock Fenders

[Josh Davis]

Can I see pics of people's stock plastic fenders cut to look like flat fenders?

I want to do this temporarily until I can save the $dough$ for tube fenders.

Maybe some tips on what you used to cut them, tricks to cutting straight, etc etc etc?

@oldschoolsdime92 did this and I believe @derekmac did as well.

There's a bunch of others who will be chiming in shortly!

I cut some rugged ridge oem style flares flat to see how I would like them. They are 7" wide to begin with and I cut them to 5". I made measurements from the body and marked a few locations, then ran plain masking tape across to make a straight line. Used a oscillating tool to make the cut. Not perfectly smooth but if I decide to rock them the line could easily me smoothed out with a little sandpaper.

Third pic is random internet pic that was my inspiration. That owner put door trim on the edge and sprayed them with bedliner paint.

I sure will. Tomorrow, as soon as I get a chance to snap a few pics

I trimmed 1.5 inches off mine. I wanted to keep the side marker lights. So I cut a block of wood to use as a guide. Just left it sit in the sun and let the plastic get nice and warm.

It's subtle but it made the difference.
