Well yesterday I dropped the coils a little bit and while it looked damn good, I managed to pull the fender out after it snagged the tire turning into a gas station literally a mile after I left the shop. So I had to bring it back up a 1/4 inch on each corner so it sits about the same as the original pictures. I know rolling the fenders and adding a little bit more camber would eliminate this problem but I don't think I want to roll them. Still pretty happy with how it sits. Going to clean the car up and get some actual good photos I'll post on here!

Heat up the fender and use a rubber mallet and fold the lip. It won’t leave the notorious “dimples” in the fender if done correctly and carefully.
