    I'm leaving my flares off. This is how I did the fenders though.

    Masking tape fenders where you'll be cutting, make the cut line, cut with tool of choice (jig saw, angle grinder, die grinder, etc.). I used a die grinder.

    I marked the fender by drilling two holes in a piece of wood 2" apart. Put a marker in each hole. One to run along the bottom lip of the fender. The other making the line as you go. I didn't take a picture. This would work for the flares too
