Wow. Thanks for the info, JPTwinz. But, I'm stubborn so I might try to use a Dremel Tungsten Carbide Cutter. It's bit # is 9903. They say it can be used on hardened steel and cast iron. If I get any hint that the Dremel is going to fry, I'll pick up a grinder, like you said.

I used a grinder... and a chopsaw to cut the rubi rails...
I cut it back alot cuz ...I hear people cut too little then its like a razor blade cutting your tire...
I cut it then hammered it back so it would be smooth...

Just a word of advice to anyone like azrockzuk did....think ahead! You may also want to cut to the that indention in the body panel where the OEM flare stops. This way if you ever move over to flat flares, the rail will be where you need it. Check my pics belwo for what I mean. And even for me, where you see my rail begin is where I will end up removing metal to.
azrockzuk's on top, mine is the bottom....
