Default New bumper, How did you trim the front.

So i just put on a new winch bumper and a winch, but i didn't need to cut the front quarter panel. I think it would look better if i did, also i think i need to relocate the horns. How and where did you guys relocate your stuff.

I think it is everything below the radiator right?
Thats the closest pic i had. My dog is in the way. but you can see on the left side of the picture how it still has the stuff hanging down there.

Cool so i just bend the horns and move the ball. I can take off all of that splash guard right. no problems there. What did you guys put on the back side of the bumper to clean it up anything? like right under the headlights where the old corner guards were.

No problems getting rid of the trim, & nothing under the corners! Just do some lookin around at the style of cuts & mark your how you like it before cutting!

It's like side burns they start out low, but the more you mess with them the higher they get! LMAO

I trimmed the inner fender liner a little you can see in the pic how it looks rounded,cuts easily with a utility knife.Touched up behind the bumper with black paint to cover up the red.Now I don't even have inner fender liners.
