yeah i just wish that spot where the fender and the bumper meet would be even an inch lower, then it would be perfect. but i just shaved the tab where the screw goes. pulling that would would be very hard considering the metals bends in all kinds of ways there. so i may, if it bothers me too much, just shave that part flat and then pull, then relocate the screw to make it a seemless finish

Well the body shop i went to has this tool, i dont know what you call it, but its like a pole with a hook at the end. They stuck the hook part where the fender and bumper meet, and the hole also has this real heavy cylinder on it. Basically you slide the cylinder forward and then pull it back and the impact of the cylinder against the end of the pole just pulls the fender out. So the part where my fender and bumper meet doesnt come back in and its smooth all the way across the fender if you know what i mean. You roll looks real good tho, i wish i did it myself. I took it to a shop and i told the guy i just want a light roll, well he didnt listen so now my rears dont look as aggressive as they should be.
