I'm just about to do that same cut, but am wondering if I need to attach the fender's in some way there, or just let it fly?

mine is trimmed too and your question had me wondering about the support of the fender:

There is the head light mounting area (core support?) that seems to brace that area of the front fender pretty good, no wobbles:

That's my truck. Here's a pic. I used some scrap 16ga that had a 180 rolled edge and cut, welded to fit.
