I was wondering what people are using to cover the edge of the fenders after trimming; I've searched through this site and others. I'm more just looking for options and what would be the best route, I'd like something that will last a while and looks good too. Thanks.

I use a product that can be picked up at about any auto upholstery shop, I believe that it is called "trim lock" and it is cheap as well, like less then $.75 a ft. It is a black trim that looks pretty clean and also helps to keep from slicing your tire if you acidentally get the tire into the cut fender. I actually have a spool of it right now that I would sell ya some off of if you were interested. I bought a 100 ft spool and have quite a bit left. PM me if interested.

how much do you want for that trim? Also, where are you located? Any pictures?

Are you just needing it for your front fenders? I am not sure how or if it would work on the rear fenders. I am located in Northern Missouri right now, but I am a drifter 
I'll PM ya on the price. As far as pictures, I have some of my rig, but they are not close ups to really see the trim. I'll get ya a link for the pics though.

not the best picture of it but it is all I have at the office, but you can see that it blends well and does not stick out like a sore thumb.

Nice looking XJ! I'd like to see a close-up picture.
What do people use for rear fenders if you just do relief cuts between the pinch welds and fold them over?

Here is mine. I have THOR corners, but under the rear door, I used the plastic pieces from a Bushwacker kit that cover that area. VERY clean. I can get a closeup if needed.

that is what I did on my rear fenders and I cut and folded the rear quarters. There are a ton of threads on here about cut and folding the rear fenders/quarters. Do a search on fender trimming and you will be amazed, and possibly confused

chris, put a close up pic. I was thinking about trying to trim my stock fender flares to be able to put them back on, but haven't found a good way of doing it.
