^ not if your a ninja!!!

Its not that hard if you have an angle grinder. Do some searching around. Theres a few write ups. Just cut the front and cut and fold the rear. Take your time and you can make it look clean.

Yeah angle grinder with a cutoff wheel made it simple. Here is a link I used to cut mine and they turned out nice. I added some door trim around the edges to protect it a little too.

Heres the link : http://rocklizardfabrications.com/fender_trimming.htm

I used a jig saw with a fine toothed blade. Worked great!
