Take a hammer and bang it back into place, checking your door clearances throughout. I've had that done to me and what I did above fixed it, but not before bitching out the manager about how he hired a piece of ****.

same crap happened to me. squeeze them for everything, new fenders, blending the new fenders with the doors bumper and hood. the quotes should be a little over $1000. thats about what i got. just act pissed. i got my check and put some screws in the bottom of the fenders and called it done
if you can live with it after you fix it, take the $1000 and put it towards some mods Trending Topics

Well if you are talking about the fender it prob cracked it too at the bottom I bet. Only way to fix it is to unbolt the fender at the bottom pull everything back down and line it back up best as you can. This happens way too often why do people think they can jack the car up here? I dont get it. I was looking under a 95z28 b4 and it had like jacking pads under it my SS doesnt have them tho.

Yea I hear you. I was detailing my car and found a week after inspection that I could put my pinky between the fender and the door. I look under and sure enough, the damn fender flange is on the same plane as the floor board. I hate careless mechanics, thats why I do all my work myself. Unfortunately I cannot legally inspect my cars myself. F-bodies are very hard to jack, my 92' (Third Gen) was even worse than my 99'.
