If your jig saw has variable speed, med/slow worked best for me. Also set the blade so that it is stroking straight up and down, not raking forward.

With the Sawzall and a fine tooth blade (18bpi) I cut mine just fine. If you press it right onto the body you will minimize shaking and shimmying of the metal you're cutting. It will obviously scratch up the paint a lot right on your new edge, but if you plan to cover that up or paint over it no big deal.
Be careful up forward with a sawzall blade and what's behind the metal (wires and whatnot).

You might want to just consider folding your fenders. It makes your fender WAY stronger and provides a much more stock look since the corners are rounded instead of flat. If you don't fold it the cut edges will put some nice gouges in your tires when flexing

I used an angle grinder,
If you go a little slow you can make the cut fairly decent.
