Hi all,

For those in the Bay Area that might be rubbing the rear fenders due to aggressive wheel fitment, I want to let you guys know that my buddy is a pro at shaving rear fenders and he recently worked on mine to remove that pesky lip. It's a much better alternative to rolling as there's no risk of paint cracking, or fender pulling.

We're specifically located in the East Bay. PM me if you'd like his contact info. His craftsmanship and attention to detail is second to none.

Don't mind the fender liner. Picture was taken before we bent it back in place.

 

The concern I would have with that procedure is that it will result in a significant weakening of the body panel. Just leaning up against that fender might result in a dent or wrinkle.

 

Not a chance. I've you've ever felt back there, there's a second panel which is bonded to the superficial layer (painted external facing fenders) which is incredibly stiff due to the curvature of the inner panel. If you're able to damage that piece (via a collision), you've definitely got a much bigger issue on your hands than a dent or wrinkle.
