The second fender was done in 1/4 the time of the first.

I started using a dremel, and realized after breaking a bunch of cut off wheels, that something a bit more powerful was in order :P Ended up using a dremel for where I needed to do precision cuts.

@gioll: jeep looks sweet!

I think more jk's will be running around with cut fenders now. I wanted mine a little thin but never the less trimmed fenders just look better to me thick or thin.
