Default Rolled my rear fenders, pics
had the day off. me and my homie vipinsanity rolled the rear fenders of my ls today. it really wasn't as hard as i thought it would be. much credit goes to all those youtube vids out there...

unfortunately i have two small little dimples where the fender liner attached to the fender itself x100

snapped a few quick pics during the process...















i can drop it to L now...

to get proper clearance for your wheels.

So you literally are PUSHING the metal panel up? Wow... that's extreme, but I guess needed to clear the wheels in order to stagger them.

I just shaved mine, less risk on damaging the fenders.

Electric cutter, remove the plastic and cut the metal parts off... Takes only 10 min per side.
