Default Shaved rears today

Since it's dead here I'm sure you guys won't mind seeing me post my car here and there lol.

My first time shaving. Not bad actually. 1st fender took an hour or so and other side was duck soup. Bought a Dewalt angle grinder with a cut off wheel. Light sanding and did 1 side with touch up paint then went city mill and bought a rust inhibitor. Aired up my ride and was able to leave rims on.

Glad I only had to do 2 sides. No, I won't do for you! 😛

Haha I don't mind giving pointers or possibly even helping out and showing what to do but if you understand what you have to do and how to do it then it's really simple.

I'd have to say I cut mine near perfect. Nice tuck. I think I have like 5mm between the shaved lip and my tire

Good job. I had mine done by Revision when I lived on Oahu and didnt have a place to do it myself. I have had to do more to fit my new setup. Its not terribly difficult to do just take your time and be patient. Try to rush it and you could be looking at a lot of bodywork and paint lol.
