Pic request- rolling rear fenders/trimming tab

Hey All,
Looking to roll/pull/trim tabs on the rear of my C32. I got the fronts done, came out perfect(thanks phister, I pulled about 1/4"). I can see where I need to roll the rear fender lip, but I am wondering how much of the rear tab (the one the holds the bumper on) that I can trim. Also, towards the front of the well, there is a small piece of body trim that goes into the well. Am I safe to trim that? I am trying to get as tight a fit as possible, no rubbing allowed. Any pics of post trimming would be great. TIA, Mike

look up trutaings thread he has pics. you can grind those tabs down pretty low. I have them grinded all the way down to the bolts and some. I have part of the bolts grinded down. for the front tab you can grind it to be flush with the wheel well.
