you can make it look clean if you take your time. its pretty easy to chop the rear fenders. im sure there are plenty of threads on it if you search

Do you think longer rear control arms would take care of the problem instead of hacking the fenders all to hell?

I already trimmed behind the wheel well. Wasn't that hard, I cut slats in the protruding metal and used a hammer to fold it over, I cut the bumper too and use industrial strength epoxy to hold it in place. I than sprayed where I cut with liquid rubber so it won't rust! I still need to perfect my cut on the bumper but I feel like I did good!
