Being flush Is hard !
Just had my new shoes fitted last week. Although its nice and flush it was just a few mm too aggressive that I couldn't drop my bags all the way.
Dropped by the body shop to give it just the slightest pull to clear. When I raise it back up it will camber back out as seen in the first photos
And this was the final product. Its a little hard to see from this angle but the rear quarter panels have been pulled. I truly love the stock lines of the original body, but with the new shoes there was no way to avoid pulling. Personally the thought of flared/rolled out fenders makes me cringe. So I thought to myself how do I make a pull not look like a pull. So after a hard look at the front fenders I noticed they're not as flat as the rears. So I had them pulled shaped so they replicate the same curves as the front fenders. I really think This is how it should have come from the factory. Currently there's about 3mm clearance from the fender to the rim
