Default Slammed Fender Carnage

So my GF came home from work she has been driving the GS as the good ol minivan is having issues and I do not want her out and about with the kids with a possible car issue. She pulls up last night from work and I noticed my fender didn't look right. Guess tonight will be spent shaving repairing and rolling....but hey roll hard or don't roll at all.

Ahhh.. I'm afraid to even let my close friends drive mine for this reason. At least it wasn't destroyed.

I had that happen to be reversing on a angle. Although it was not as severe I was able to roll it back into place.

Two people have driven my car since i put more aggressive wheels on. The alignment guy taking a test spin after the alignment. The tint guy moving it 20 feet into his bay. My wife does not want to ever drive my car for this very reason.

I hear that man. My girl don't want to drive my car either for this reason. I actually had this happen to me about a month ago. I used a heat gun and a wooden broom stick to roll it back. Only took 10 minutes and it looks as if it never happened. Good luck buddy...

Heat gun and a metal pipe of broomstick should fix it up pretty well, doesnt look like there'll be any visible paint damage so you got lucky!

Most girls just "get in and go" and assume that a car should simply "work"

Set it up properly if you let other people drive your car or at least tell them what to watch for.

IE: I know I should have shaved or rolled fenders with the car being so low on aggressive offsets...but I was feelin kinda lazy (or dont know how) and I like to drive on paranoid... so it works for me.



PS: I would never loan any of my cars to any of my (female) friends...



that sounded kinda bad....TRUE.....but bad

Lol it's all good a fixable. She drives it more then I do and well I know I needed to do some fender work so its on me ...I just wanted to be the one to do it!

Side note for those that asked yes they are G35 18's painted white.

Fender liners are all removed and the bat technique will be done on the fenders tonight. Should solve the issues.
