I used a sawzall on mine it took an hour to do from start to finish. The sawzall cut through the fenders and support with one cut. I took the liner out of the rear and painted the fender well black.

I cut the liner in the front and kept it in. When I cut the fenders I was able to cut through both fender and liner with one cut so I only had to spend a few minutes trimming with a dremel to get everything to look right and fit.

For you guys with chopped fenders and stock rear bumpers how does it look? I want to do this when I get my 35s but it looks like the stock bumper will stick forward into the wheel well.

I used an air saw to do the job. It worked great. I'm not sure if there are any laws about front marker lights but I'm working on an idea to put them back on. And as far as the rear bumper goes, it looks like crap if you don't trim it too. So I chopped that as well.
