Here is mine, I used rubber fuel line as a spacer over the tire. measured and marked both sides, punched it then drilled new holes. The new holes are just under the bend line of the fender bracket. Not as low as I would like but definitely lower than factory, now you can't see the gap between the fender and the tire. Very easy to do and improves the look big time.

I kept the brace in the middle for structual purposes, i didnt want to loose the rigid-ness of the fender plus mine is about 1/4'' off the tire inside and we rolled the 2 tips down in the front and rear to cosmeticlly make it look lower to the tire then it really is. I found having the fender as low as i do, you might as well not even have a fender because if you get caight in the rain, forget about it.
