Front splash guard installation - what cutter to use on stone guard?
I am thinking of putting on the front splash guards. I found the helpful thread below. Installation seems straightforward, but one needs to cut the stoneguard on 8's with 18" rims.
It says to use an ultrasonic cutter or similar device. Any suggestions on what to use other than an ultrasonic cutter?

I just went out to home depot and bought me a generic all purpose cutter. The stone guard material isn't really a tough material, you'll feel it when you get it detached from the car.. just needs a tad bit of strength to get the cutters to actually cut through the guard.

If I remember correctly.....and I probably don't, I think I just used a pair of tin snips and I don't think I took them off either. If you are carefully and don't use something too bulky to do the cutting, then you can do it with them on.

you just have to cut it so the base mounting point of the actual splash guard is in contact with the bottom of the car. The stoneguard, if i remember right, it's been a while, is just a long piece of rubber. use an exacto knife. not really cutting into the car...
