I can't send you a picture, because mine are already cut and folded, obscuring the view. However, I can tell you.

If you look up under your rear fender, you will see where the inner fender comes down to meet the quarter panel sheet metal. Then they are spot welded together. You should be able to see the spot welds through the exterior paint. They look like little indented circles. this is basically the extent of the pinch seam. Many will tell you not to cut above the level of the little circle indentations. However, as long as you don't cut through them, you can cut up to where the inner fender meets the outer, and then fold the whole thing over. If you are uncomfortable with that, then just tape the fender off, and draw a line with a sharpie at the lower margin of all the spot welds, and cut to the line but not past it. You'll be fine.

After doing a search and on the 3 or 4th page of results found it again. This is the guideline I used when I did mine and came out great. On the first few pages were the original pics but they were reposted on page 5 and 6.
