Rear Overfenders to cut or not to cut
 
Rebuilding the wife's MB and can't decide if I want to do feed rear over fenders.

Current plan is to do 99 front and feed front fenders.

If you have rear over fenders, did you cut into your fenders? If so, do you regret it?

I really don't need to run a wide wheel or wide tire. I just like the way rear over fenders look. However if I add and don't cut into the fenders, i feel like the mod is a non functional mod and pointless.

Thoughts?

I think that if you add the flares and don't run properly offset wheels, it will look silly
Properly offset wheels would likely require cutting

If you cut your fenders, you significantly lower the value of your car. I advise against it.

Though I like the look of some of the over fenders, I don't have the balls to cut up my car.

I agree, would just have to find the right buyer

Arguably though - you lower the value by putting a wide body kit on it in the first place.

If you've already come to the decision you are going that route - you might as well do it right and cut the fenders. Anything less is kinda just half-assing it.

Either go widebody and cut the fenders... or stick with stock body.

I went with feed fronts and didn't order the rear. I can change it up later if i need to.

Thanks for the input.
