Those of you who have cut the fenders, what tool works best, with least chance of damage?
Dremel?
Die Grinder?
Recip. saw?
Any advice on cutting disc type or blade type?
I will be cutting the fenders on the car, and I'd rather not screw it up.
thx...

I would stay away from the saw since one catch of a tooth and the fender is toast. Any of the spinning discs should do the job. Just take it slow and easy, do small sections at a time and stop to let the heat dissipate frequently and you should not have any issue. I personally would go the Dremel route with a heavy cutting disk.
