Default Warning!!!

I don't post much... but religiously read. Have to on this one.

Got caught in Wednesday's midwest storm, bad time. O.K. time for Blizzax's.

Took an hour to order on Friday, installed on Sat. Two hours.

Car is done... raining, look at tires...ehh tires are tires, fine.

Go to my next errand, get out of the car, naturally look at my new 700.00 tires, notice my front fender's about a 1/4 inch out of line.

No, they did'nt...look at other side, yes they did. Lifted the car by the body panels.

So go back to Stupidstone, they tell me to get an estimate?

I have read this happening before... what's involved to fix?

Also, warning is people are just too stupid to work on a otherwise pristine vehicle.

Really funny is I have welded sfc's, 2x2 inch square stock, 3/8ths thick. Dummy had a whole frame to lift on.

End of rant... just cost 700.00 for someone to f*ck up my car.

It's easy to fix. You can just bend it back in by hand. But get an estimate and let them pay for their stupidity. More money for mods.

My wife ran up on the corner of a curb one time and did the same thing, I just unbolted the fender from the bracket and bent it back unitl it looked as even as the other side, not too bad.
