btw, wouldn't it be a better idea to pull on a non-shaved fender since the extra metal can provide some rigidity for the fender? i'm not sure about the 3gs but i've seen other cars having problems with pulling shaved fenders. in particular, the thin fenders would somehow not allow the fenders to be pulled correctly.

See thats the million dollar question, I have heard the same thing but then I have seen rolled fenders that weren t shaved dimple up cause of the welds, like hitting a speed bump with the roller. I really would like to pull my fenders and they are shaved smoothly flat on the inside, I would imagine that the thinner, smoother surface would stretch and pull easier and smoother, also wouldn t be folding the paint in half on the edge your rolling. My next question is when trying to figure out how aggressive to go with wheels, when your planning on pulling. I want to so bad but really don t feel like getting into thousands of dollars in body work to correct a messed up pull AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!1 what to do!!! sorry for venting my ocd is off the chains Im about to just sell that *****
Like I always say, LOWER!

I am curious to see wht the package looks like when it all comes together. Are you going to be able to deal with the annoying vibration . I have a friend who dropped his AWD GS on 22's. It drove him nuts to the point he just got rid of the car. just a heads up
