I had my rear quarter panels shaved until there was about an 1/8 of an inch lip left. I then used undercoating on the areas to protect against rust. We used a grinder to grind down the lip. If you want I can take some pics and post them for you.

whats the ultimate goal here? i normally have quarter panels shaved to fit wheels due to offset stretched tires etc. i'm just thinking if you cut your quarter panels your car would like higher than it really is no?
