I took mine off and trimmed them a week after getting the jeep, looks so much better. However just be careful. I slipped, stabbed my self with a utility knife and ended up with 5 stitches.

Still happy I did it though :)
Made me think of this ...

I took mine off today but didn’t like the exposed wires so I trimmed the plastic and screwed it back on so it covered the back again.

Looks like you could accomplish that same result by just cutting them off in place. No?

Ouch.
I hope that heals up for you quickly.

That was almost a year ago. I lucked out and missed all the nerves and such. Healed up nicely, can barely see the scar.

I also did a carful trim job. Looks almost like it came from factory that way.

That is exactly how I trimmed mine. Or I should say, half-trimmed. I got busy and they are still sitting on my work table for me to finish!

Did mine yesterday. Used a cordless impact driver, took less than 10 minutes a side to remove and install. The trick to safely cutting was laying down a piece of plywood, then cut along the trim grooves and then sand with some 220 grit with a palm sander.

I still plan on upgrading to an aftermarket front bumper, but just couldn’t take looking at those anymore.

Mine were gone within a month when I got 35s for my Sport S. The bumper itself departed in early January when I bought a Rubi Steel bumper off a fellow board member.
