Default Chopping Rear Fender Question...
Thinking about chopping off the rear fender on my 09 right below the license plate, what should I use an angle grinder????? Any tips, tricks and suggestions are welcome.

Dremel tool with a cutting disc! That plastic gets hot and melts....if if melts too bad you won't have a clean cut. Use sandpaper to clean up the rough stuff.....that's your mission, now good luck! ;P

I just used an el cheapo Black and Decker jig saw and Bic lighter to smooth the cut edge.
