    Anyone know who can do a good job on a viper cut for me in the Phoenix area? I have '20 Tacoma that needs a trim! :cheers:

    I have heard that someone sells viper cut kits with a template and the trim, but I can't seem to find them. I'm wanting to trim it up too

    Did my "viper cut" today:thumbsup:
    Wasn't too bad, the worst part was figuring out what to do with the remnants of the inner fender well/liner. So, I cut it, folded it, formed in place with a heat gun and the ultimately, bolted to itself with the OEM body clip/fastener that I removed in the trimming process. That said, I did a very "subdued" viper cut only taking a few inches off and resulting in an upward sweep on the side that's not so exaggerated. You can see by my pre-cut marks how much I took off. :cheers:

    Not sure if these cats do that kind of stuff, but if they don't they probably could refer you to someone.

    Prevent rubbing when going with bigger wheels.

    Without doing inner wheel well mods and fender trimming, yep! lol.

    I plan on doing it too, but I'm keeping the wheel well sealed one way or another. I still have plenty of time to plan and tons of good info on this forum about it. Did you end up DIYing it?

    Yep, all done. See Post #3 above. I'm with you on the inner fender liner, don't want to throw rocks through the backs of my fog lights. I was able to trim, fold, and re-attach the inner reasonably well using a heat gun. :thumbsup:
