Honda s2K (fender liner trimming)

ok now we want to go low, fit big wheels roll the fenders but there are wires intakes lights, sensors hiding behind those fender liners. in some cases if the car you are working on is your DD you might want to keep this liner thats ok, ill show you how i mod liners on rolled flat front fenders.

Car : Honda s2000

the liner issue.

what you want to do is take out those plastic rivets that hold the liner tight to the fender.
leave just the furthest one up front and the one past the arch to keep the liner in place.

pull that liner down and make relief cuts every 3 inches or so, this will make trimming easier.

now trim away the section of liner where you are going to roll.

now you have some room to work with

this car had pushed out fender lips caused when the tire catches the fender edge and pulls it outwards

easy to fix

Pre roll

the fender had been cut down to the silicone molding, any further and I would have not been able to roll this car.

pros and cons of cutting fenders.

Pros:
inexpensive- anyone skilled with a die cutter or angle grinder can cut fenders

stock look- many VIP heads preffer cutting fenders because it keeps the exterior of the car looking stock

clearance - on a setup not too aggressive you may be able to achieve the gaping needed for your wheels and tire setup to clear the fennder

Cons:

sharp edge - you are still left with a jagged edge, that may do worse damage to the tires than having stock smooth untouched fender.

flexibility - in most cases once you cut the fender thats all you can do, you wont be able to pull or mold the fender to your desired shape or need.

damage - you are cutting the fender so you are breaking the paint.

in the case of this roll the cut wasn't too over the top. there was still about an 1/8th of the lip left to roll so we lucked out
