If you plan on removing the flares to cut them, go ahead and order a box of both types of clips. Not a bad idea to have them on hand anyway, just in case a flare gets ripped off by a tree or rock on the trail.

A20887 $8.92 box of 15
A11146 $2.97 box of 25

I cut mine at a fender trimming party a few years back. We used a sawzall, and the results were disastrous. I finally got around to fixing the mistakes last week, and they now look beautiful. The secret? Use a Dremel, and then finish off with a large hand sander + ~80 grit sandpaper (I used a 10" sander that is meant for drywall).
Take your time.

If you have an air compressor or use it as a reason to get one, this pneumatic body saw works great, a lot easier than a dremel.

Cut away. I used a cordless multi-purpose tool. Because of the small size it allows for straight lines and easy to curve around corners. Finish it off with the door trim molding and your done.
