^ :lol: ... But I trimmed mine a lot more than some people, I like the results though. It looks pretty sweet, I had to trim a lot for my tires, but now they aren't even close to rubbing.

Dont have many pictures, but here's one. Just took a Dye Grinder and cut along the bottom part of the bumper. I think it looks better than stock, more aggressive. Then just cut some of the wheel well lining and you're good.

lot of ways to do it and they are all pretty easy. Die grinder works quickly so does a dremel. Heck even an razor knife works after a few scores.
