trying looking on google and YouTube. LOTS of how to's. Just got to look for them. You can just cut the front but the rear has to have slits cut in it and folded.

i suggest you also do the front with the 'cut-n-fold' method shown above. most people will tell you to just trim it, but the fenders become very flimsy (like you lean on your fender and it'll bend very easily). by rolling back the sheet metal it's a lot stronger. just wash it every other week to avoid mud/debris getting stuck in there.
