Post some pics lets see how its coming as you cut them.

I heard it was easier to trim the fenders on the jeep, but i guess you have to take the lining off to cut it.


How are you going to do the bumper? Just leave the ends open?

I cut mine with a jig saw. Put painters tape down, measured, and marked with a black sharpie and cut away. After a little file and sandpapering, it was simple, controlled and smooth.

I used a jig saw on mine, came out great. The door trim is the stuff you buy at an auto parts store. My pics are on my project jk. Be happy to answer any question. Good luck
