I was just wondering if anyone here has experience with rolled or shaved fenders. I've heard different things from different people, and I was just wondering if anyone has any personal experience with the matter and which choice is better/safer/easier/cheaper.
Also if you are in SoCal, do you have any recommendations to any shops who could do this? --------------------  |

With stock to mildly lowered (1-1.5) i doubt you would have any problems with the fenders even touching the wheel at all (depending on your tire width and size) assuming that you still have the stock 15" rims.
But if you have coilovers or springs that have dropped your car dramatically and you have rims and tires which you need to "clear", then i believe this mod would be relevant to your needs. But thats just my 02... |
