You should have never rolled your fenders in the first place. Looks dire and will have to be repainted.

This is why I will always have wheels on my S that actually fit correctly.

and that may be why some S's are faster than others. whether it be rolling the rear quarter panel to fit a fat slick back there to get down the 1/4 faster, or running unstaggered and having snappier traction while maintaining a wide tire width, you're at your 255 max in the rears, 225 or 235 fronts. just some food for thought

thanks for the advice, although useless at this point, thanks

repaint will cost $500 tops and i there's a ding in the door jamb that needed fixing anyway, so i'll kill 2 birds with one stone

and wheels that fit the stock body rarely look good in my opinion and i'm not running some crazy aggressive offsets either, thanks for asking, 17x8 and 9 et44

live a little

Seriously... I had my fenders rolled yesterday, the paint didn't chip luckily. Good luck to you and for having the balls to have this very handy mod done.
