I just grabbed a hammer and whooped the **** outa mine. There is no massaging to it! Get mad at it! I don't run spacers, I'm lowered on Sportline's, and I never rub unless I take a turn too fast, and then it rubs the outside fender, not inside. I had to beat mine at the bottom of the inner fender well, towards the front of the car.

I don't suppose any of you dudes would mind posting up some pics of the inner fender on the rear after the BFHammer mod?

Thanks

There is really nothing to see.

Once you spray some rubberized undercoating on it you can't even tell it was hit with a hammer.
