Default Lowered front fender on a Fatbob?

Has anyone redrilled the front fender mounting holes to drop the fender closer to the tire?
If so I would like to see some pictures and let me know how far you dropped it and how do you like it?
I've saved a lot of Fatbob pictures from this site and while looking through them I couldn't really tell if any of the fenders have been dropped.
Thanks in advance,
Tim

Why not just slot the mounting holes and make the fender adjustable to suite your likes and dislikes?...................

There isn't that much space that I would even consider lowering it. Maybe if you changed the front tire it would warrant some adjustment. I've never thought it looked out of place.
