Woke up this morning and decided it was time. So, I cut my front bumper. Here she is.
Marked up, ready for...
...the first cut.
Huala. Feedback is crucial for future improvement.

Under Fender Look
Looking real good. I want to cut mine down, but not sure how much support to keep. Can you provide a shot under the fender for some idea's? Thanks.
BTW, I used a hand planer to straighten out the cuts. Was like $8 bucks from Lowe's. Was well worth it and don't think I need the fender trim.

Haha. No. I didn't realize that. I guess if it ain't broke, don't fix it...:brows::brows::brows:

If you cut your fenders do you need to replace the marker light?

Yes. You'll need to figure out how to mount the stock one inside the fender or get an aftermarket LED light

I used a piece of sheet metal and attached it with some rivots.
Then I bolted the side marker lights to keep it looking clean.

The only dilemma I have is my fenders are metal and painted the same color as the rest of my jeep. I don't know if it's just how the Sahara's come but can I still do this or would you recommend just buying after market?

You can buy replacement plastic flares that look like the stock black ones and cut them, keep your factory painted flares for if you ever want to go back to stock. The aftermarket replacement flares should be well under $400 for all 4.

I just disconnected the side marker light and left it off. I like living dangerously I guess lol

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, or good news, the fenders on your jeep, based off of the pictures in your build thread, look like painted plastic flares. I just cut some painted black ones that I got from a local jeep club member and pulled my body matched flares off... They were plastic too.

Looks great! Now you won't have any random fender pieces flying off when you flex!

Thanks! This is true as I flex with those 33" tires and no lift. And it is a lot less noisy!
