Yeah it wasn't too bad.. just jack the car up (safely) and take off the tires.

Tape up the outside of the fender to prevent any damages.

Use a cutting disc, Rob had experience using the sanding belt and apparently the results were not that great.

We ended up leaving about 1/4" of the fender left, which hopefully will be enough for my rear +7 offset. It took about 20-25 min. each side, just take your time and go slowly at first.

After that I took a flat razor and shaved off some of the unneeded rubber lining. Also will sand down the ridges a bit more and of course touch it up with matching paint.

Good luck to u guys plannin on goin this route! Hope that helped
