I've searched and can't find anything. But I've been curious on what has to b done to the quarter panel/ wheel well in order to put over fenders on. R u supposed to cut a portion of the wheel well out for the wider tires to actually fit? Someone point me in the right direction, I plan on doing this soon

Ok that put a good picture in my head now. Never thought of pulling the inner fender out. Thanks Chalsuka

NP, its what i did for my F.flare install.. just mark.. measure, mark, measure, measure, measure and double check... well, with over-fenders, it wont matter, but fender flares there is little room for error

Me personally, i wouldn't do your typical hack n slash. Especially if you do any sort of tire burning/drifting. When your tire explodes, it's going to take out your fiberglass/urethane, whatever. Best bet is to actually put the over in place with tape (after you sepparate the inner fender from the outer) and then PULL the metal to match the over. Go ahead and beat the outer fender to the inner, tack weld, rust proof it, mount your over and call it a day. Save you some money and itchy sanding later on.
