Trimming front sway bar cover

Hey folks,
I'm getting ready to trim my front sway bar cover due to winch install with a Rough Country flat mounting plate. I've heard about this being done but haven't actually ever seen it. Has anybody done this and do you have pics of the finished product? The instructions for the plate show you where you need to cut but I would like to see some real world pictures before I chop mine up. I just finished putting the plate and winch on only to find out that I have to take the winch back off to do this.
I understand a lot of people just leave it off but I'm not crazy about doing that.

Thats how I'm planning to trim mine but was concerned about the wheel gumming up. Glad to hear that will work.

O.K. So once trimmed, it fits OVER the back of the plate. I was thinking it would tuck underneath and couldn't figure out why I had to cut the squares out on either side of the logo. You pretty much trimmed it exactly how the instructions told you too! Go figure.
Anything you would do differently if you had to do it again?

Haha! Yes Padawan! Instructions I have, informative not really. Experience I seek!
Seeing that you did yours without instructions, you should feel pretty good when you see the picture of instructions.
Nice work!
It will be a few weekends before I can take the winch back off to do this but at least I have more info. Thanks!
