well i did it yesterday, i removed the fender. i used a hacksaw, and i'm decently impressed with out it turned out. also used sandpaper and razorblades to clean it up a little bit. i will have to buy a rattle can and clean up the plastic. All in all i'd say it took me an hour or less.

Yeah, looks good. And since we're on the topic, I did a fenderectomy a couple weeks ago ala Pantablo's method, the "Uber-fenderectomy". Some pics:
