Default So-cal peeps LOOK!

For those of you who need your rear fender lip removed, so you can fit those wide wheels. I found a local shop in Graden Grove called HW Motorsports that can do the job and do it well. I speak first hand from thier experience as I just had mine done today. They call it shaving the lip, no cutting or rolling it. Best thing of all is there was no paint or fender damage at all (amazing). Check em out guys.

I couldn't find their actual website but I was able to find some info on em here http://local.yahoo.com/details;_ylt=...cb=zsIpucskPZx Hope this helps out.

The cost was originally quoted $40 ($20 each fender) but the guy ended up charging me $20 bucks total (for both fenders).

As soon as I find my "F"ing digital camera I will post some pics. Damn wife misplaced it...errr!

When that happens it's time to misplace your wallet before she goes shopping.

That is real cheap. Hopefully they used the heat gun on it first and got the metal hot, then rolled the lip up. If not you got lucky because it can cause flex to the paint and strees crack the paint.
