Default Cut and fold front fenders

So I cut and folded my front fenders this weekend. I see a lot of guys put black piping on the edge to cover the sharp lip. What are you all using or are u cutting the fender insted of folding it also?

I cut notches on the fender, folded it up then added sheet metal to cover the tires.

Depends how thick the metal is you could take heater hose cut a slit on one side and glue on it.On thin stuff like a hole in the firewall i have used vacuum line the same way.

Mine are cut and sharp. I never had an issue except today I was wheeling and put a slice in one of my tires. Looks like I will cut more tomorrow. I keep cutting until my issue is fixed. Lol

Taller bump stops and knock off the sharp edges will help a ton also.
