I cut mine due to the fact that i had a little accident and crakced one of my front fenders so i just cut off the damaged area all the way over the fender...

it is not bad on the dirt- sand,, but when you get in the mud you get some
big chunks of mud slinging 6 to 8 feet in the air in front of you..
i did at durhamtown.. but other than that i can see my tires now when
riding tight trails....
so i would say do it ;D

ill have to post some pics, it actually looks better than stock i think
i didnt cut them all the way off just enough to see the tires
