markyboi · 04-17-2008, 06:51 AM

maybe you hammered a bit too much?

try adjusting the fender by loosening the bolts and moving it backwards...see if that helps

dori_sil8t · 04-17-2008, 06:57 AM

did that already. still the same shit. im just gonna make relief cuts.

coolcatracing · 04-17-2008, 08:03 AM

When you pull it out the sides are going to want to come in unless you actually stretch the metal which isn't going to happen with a roller. This is perfectly normal. Each time the fender comes off you're going to have to play with it to get it to fit like you had it the last time.

dori_sil8t · 04-17-2008, 08:55 AM

fuk damn thats what i thought. so if i cut some notches in the rolled lip part it should be fine... no?

FRoSt415 · 04-17-2008, 10:19 AM

i think you should be fine just losen the bolts up and move it around and dont forget to open the dooor while you do this to make sure u clear the door. GL

Marcus · 04-17-2008, 10:26 AM

dont cut notches dude, you're gonna have more problems. the front fenders are paper thin and will flex to fit. just keep working with it. have someone push the fender back towards the door and the bolt it down.

dori_sil8t · 04-17-2008, 01:36 PM

the fender is bolted down the only one that is not is at the top by the a pillar

DOOK · 04-17-2008, 01:40 PM

you guys need to understand when you pull fenders the material has to come from somewhere... once a fender is pulled it's most generally not going to line up perfectly everywhere.... just the name of the game.

dori_sil8t · 04-17-2008, 01:54 PM

i can live with that

J ROK · 04-17-2008, 02:18 PM
