Default Fender Rolling-Shaving in San Diego (The Mother thread)

Hey guys, i got a set of 19" rims that are rubbing in the front a bit when driving on somewhat hilly roads.

i was wondering if anyone knows any aftermarket store or a good body shop that can shave the back fenders and cut out some of the plastic for the front fenders. i've tried auto fashion and rev'd up kustomz but i'm still looking at options, thanks in advance.

I recommend AutoFashion... with their flush fitment on their cars they know how to cut the fenders.

do NOT get the front fenders cut. the GS fenders are too weak. i would get them rolled or go to a body shop that will do it. im sure any body shop can do it. its just a small fix for any body shop.

baseball bat method, or phone book method always works. I've never done either myself, but I've seen the phonebook method though. It requires a heat gun, two jacks, and two phone books.

Jack the car up, leave the rim on it, and place the phone book in between the rim and the fender. Place a jack underneath the rim, heat the fender up, and jack up the tire. Do it in sections.

ive been searching around the forums for this too...baseball bat wont work on our cars fenders (too thick and strong)...only reliable way is to use a fender roller and a heat gun.. let me know what you find bryan858 (need to do mine as well)

You could try AutoFashion. Since you're in the 858, give them a call.

You might want to post this in the Socal Regional forums.
