    Make a line in a perfect arc. Take a tap to cover the 2-3" of the fender. Then with a pen and a dowel or something to attach then pen to it about 2". On the other end of the dowel or ruler have something to catch the lip of the fender. Then just trace the fender. Will be an exact replica of the fender lines 2" or however deep you want on the tape.

    Cut to the line. Done.

    Thanks.

    Yep. Almost repainted it to match the Tacoma this week, but decided to leave it white to match the Cruiser (for now). Might be selling the cruiser soon.

    Ya the "brain" of the alarm system is right under my seat but they wired it under the carpet up through the drivers dash to the passenger side dash down to the shifter went crazy looking for it :goingcrazy:

    I wired it up through the pillar and into my headliner, i can now use my alarm 50ft away instead of 10 :D

    Mine was near my gauges originally.

    I ran it up to the top of the pillar but I can still only use it from about 10 yards away, if that.

Worst part now....the closest Snug top dealer is 4.5hrs. away in IL. and they will not ship glass. if I want it, I've got to go get it. This sux
