You shouldn't have to cut all the much. If you don't like the flares you have why worry about taking them off? Cut to fit and go flare less or remount some better looking flares from a jy or Craigslist.

Extend the bumps 1.5" in the rear. 2.5 in the front and you wont have to trim your fenders. Well in the rear I had to remove just a smigin off of the very bottom plastic. You can't even tell.

IN the first picture my front fenders have been trimmed one inch and the stock flares put back on. But I only run an 1.5 in bump in the front. With a 2.5 I would not have to trim at all.
Ermagurrrrd......!! That tire stuffing!!!

Bumpstop RIGHT. Then trim as little as possible. Cut the underside of the flares out and move them up an inch.
