Default installing BW flat flares- Tools required

well i just got my flat flares from a guy off here, and i was looking through the instructions to install them and it say u need a grinder with a cut off wheel so you can trim the fenders. well i dont have one, nore do i have the extra cash to purchase one. so i was wondering what other type of tool i could use to cut the fenders, i have a nice dremal and some cut off wheels for that. would that be enough to cut the fenders? i also have a sawzall and a couple other types of saws. i just dont want it to look like a hack job, and want it to look good.

dremel is the closest thing to a grinder. any of those things will work. if you use the dremel use reinforced disks

also a hack job has nothing to do with the tool... well the mechanical tool

as long as its cut the same shape as the flare it wont look like a hack job anyway as it will be covered up.

I used tin shears for mine, but mine is a hack job and never meant to be anything else. it looks ok though
