But before you start hacking make sure to first draw your cut with a marker. Then if you like line you just made cut aleast 3" away from the line. That way you can judge if you want to take off more or not. Better that way then to make the cut and realize you cut too much and can't go back.

on your plastic it won't scratch it all up. The tape needs to be to the inside of the cut for this to wOrk! I always use some type of tape to outline both sides, nice and even, before I start hacking away. Good luck, Dano Title: Re: how do i cut my fenders?

Dremels or saws create a lot of friction so pay attention to how hot the material your cutting is getting, I would recommend a hand saw so as to maintain better control of the cut.
Lowes sells a Hacksaw blade holder that works really well for that sort of thing. Title: Re: how do i cut my fenders? Post by: Oldracer#23 on September 07, 2005, 11:43:17 PM dremel tool ;D
