Default thinking of going flareless??

soon to be switching from 30's to 31's with a 2in BB...i just read of the cut and fold on the rear which is what im going with,but is it ok to cut and fold it the front too?? ive read nothing on it and it looks pretty quick and simple to do on both..
any suggestions please?

If you want some really nice lines use a jig saw. Need to protect your paint when you do it but it works great.
