Cuting fender flares

I am thinking about cutting my feder flares and just want to see if anyone had pictures that I can use as an example?

Several have done just that. They also included pics in their threads. I can’t recall whom because it’s been awhile but perhaps you can find them with a search.

Here's some cell phone pics of my mild fender chop, was just enough to clear my 33's while wheeling:







Trimmed about 1.5" off the flares all around except for the sidemarker area as you can see.

This is the inside trim for the recent recall.

WOW...talk about overkill^^...a piece of vinyl tubing would have been a much better fix!

That's gonna allow a lot of crap into the engine compartment....

That's exactly why I did not take mine in.....

Yeah, I agree its ugly but easily re-modified and I have satisfied Chrysler to keep my warranty in tact.

I agree, it looks like a hack job. I wonder if its left up to the tech guy or is it specified by Chrysler how much to remove?
