2000 XJ rear fender trim
Ok so the first post didnt go as planned and made for a really big post. As I stated before I am new to this forum and the Jeep world. My question is can I use rivets and trim off spot weld area. I will be leaving the top lip which will be where I will be putting the rivets. Below is a pic off what I am talking about. There will be about 15-20 rivets in that section. Any and all help would be awesome.

I still want it to look good. It is not a trail rig. DD so I think it will look cleaner with it cut off.
I just need to know if anyone has done this before and whether or not its a going to be a bad idea.
I personally think it will be fine but want others opinions.

And my second cherokee is done full cut and fold. And have not had any problems with separation or leaks. And I think it looks better without all the rivets in it.

Why was the first thread not good enough? This is why forums get cluttered so easily.
Cut and fold the seam. Take your time and it'll look way better than hacking it off and popping rivets. (For the second time.)
