Not sure if it really matters, but your shocks are upside down

I have yet to understand the point of cutting fenders.. probably because we're always trying to add more weight and make our utes bigger.. Cool job though. Must've been hard with the welding.

It adds a tad bit aero dynamics, lets you see your front tires that add better judgement, and it looks cool!

You can see your tires? o.O lol j/k
