I think if I remember correctly about 1/2 an inch below the bevel where it goes in, it's kinda up to you how it looks to you and what bumper your going to run, start off with an inch and work your way up  ;D

I'll see about getting a pic of how I trimmed mine back there ... Essentially, I just followed the seam where the sides meet the rest of the body (this preserves the integrity of that seam). Sawzall and a grinding wheel and it cleans up nicely.
