Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

I would suggest beating the seams in with a hammer! You get alot cleaner look and your seam wont split. I did both I cut them first and didn't get the clearance I wanted so then took a hammer to them and it looked alot cleaner and more clearance.

I used a zip wheel (fabric disc and air hose). Much cleaner cut than a saw and very quick

Right ...... I have a terrible mental picture of this. Only because a friend of mine did it and I saw the aftermath. I cringe at the thought of this.

The undercoating was still wet, but after it dried it looked factory!!

Well after some serious beatings all weekend I'm happy with the results. It rubs just a tiny bit fully stuffed but only enough to rub the paint off. Disconnected and all I'm happy with it. Could be a touch better but I can live with it. I think a 37" km2 wouldn't rub at all
