Not taken negative in any way, I understand this look isn't for everyone.

And the site won't let me upload tonight for some reason so I'll post an update tomorrow or monday I guess.

Well the site won't let me add photos for some reason. So hopefully attaching them will work.

And that should do it. Sorry about having to post the pictures all crappy. But at least it works. I'm pretty happy with how the fenders came out. Really looking forward to hitting some trails soon and seeing what it can do when I don't have to stress about chewing up tires every time it flexes

Yeah, they will be getting skinned as well. If I have the free time this week I'm going to try and chop up the old fenders for the skins

I have a vinyl plotter I used. I laid out angles at a 5* increment on my computer and then cut them out. Then all you have to do it put the sticker on the tube and cut them out with a die grinder. I was blown away on how easy it actually was to use. I'll be selling sets once I get moved and have a little more free time.

So you're going to manually switch the transmission whenever you drive it anywhere? That'll get old real fast. I'd leave the TCU for just driving, and use the switches as a bypass when you want to manually control it

What he said. To have the option is cool. But for normal driving, having the TCU do the work is the ****

I tried to make a cope notch once with a chop saw and it didn't work very well
