OK here is what I did . sanded primed and fit the flare.
marked all the spots for rivets. 3/4" from edge spaced 5 7/8" apart Then used double sticky tape and stuck the fender to the car. marked the layout and position so I could repeat. pulled off flare marked 1 1/2 inches in and made a cut line. Without a single beer I took a deep breath and fired up my Hitachi jig saw with extra fine blade 30 seconds later I had a big ass hole where the fender was. Attached image(s)

The only place you may run into a problem is with the height of the fender lip.... and that at full (or close to) lock & full suspension compression. I had to raise the fender opening bout 3/4 inch. also had to do some trimming at the back edge of my LE air dam & adjacent fender....which you cut away.....normal rife height was the worst. I had to push the fender out and reweld the support.
It's a PITA to check for the clearance at full compression & lock, but better than tearing up tiars or body work at an AX. Attached thumbnail(s)
