I need to trim down my front mud flaps and was wondering what gave you guys the best results when trimming them? I was thinking of using either Tin-Snips or my Drummel (sp?).

Thoughts?

dm,

Before you cut, you HAVE loosened the brackets and moved them forward as much as possible?

How do you move the front fender? I have already remove the three 15mm bolts and the black piece will not move upward to give more clearance for the mud flap. Please advise. Thanks

Joseph - I cut mine while they are off the car. I don't think they are talking about moving the actual fender itself. Lay them out and scribe a cut line where you want it,,,allow for the curve and remember which is r and l. I, like Rich above, used tin snips to cut. Came out nice,,,,I trimmed off 1 1/4". Some do less, others more, up to you.

I moved my right front fender forward because it was the only side scraping on curbs etc. I measured while the car was parked on a level garage floor and found the right side was over 1/2 inch lower in rear so I moved the fender forward to make it even with driver side. I have not trimmed mudflaps and have over 51,000 miles on car.

Loosen the bolts marked "A" and move the brackets. A lot easier with the tires off of the car.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Grrowl,Marty and Alley cat. Now, I just got to find a proper wrench to sneek inside to loosen the bolt. Grrowl, Do you by chance know what size is the bolt(metric?)?

Thanks,

Joseph
