That seems about as far as you can cut without welding. That is as deep as I cut and it has cause no problems.

That lip is there for every year. I used a sawzall to make the vertical relief cuts and then bent the pieces over as much as I could by hand and then beat them flush to the inner fenderwell with a rubber mallet.
