The inner parts are steel. Plastic is easy! |

Yeah you could just trim the metal underneath without touching the plastic guards. I just wanted to bigger open guards look. |

What did you end up doing with the inner guards (plastic mud protective pieces of crap). Did you have to do away with the or did you cut and paste and redrill mounting holes? |

Did you have to do away with the or did you cut and paste and redrill mounting holes? theres nothing under the guard to protect now. except air intake on drivers side, soon to be snorkel so will be good. hope it helped u. |

good job mate! looks well done, should be great with a bit of lift under it and the guard chop, will be interesting to see if it scrubs at all with a 2 inch lift under it.. |

only problem not running inner guards is if your a hard core wanna be line monkey in his dp the water pressure will come up and push your guards out, will be like wings after a couple puddles |

Kyle you should do your guards like this, cus it looks soooooooo much better than you shitty guard chop 
Also i do run inner guards,the only reason why mine fell of, was , cus i only had 3 clips holding it on. |

not worried about the flare your actual guard will pull out, happens all the time my guard chop is mean, looking into some different options at the moment of cutting them |

u will destroy them considering how u smashed your guards having bigger 1s will just cause them to get caught more, i thought about it also, plus your tires bearly even hang out so dont even worrie about it |
