I should have PM'd him since it pertains specifically to his car and what was done to it in the past.

However... FYI - your rear "fender" is your quarter panel. So, if you are doing the fronts ONLY then sure - you would be nowhere near the rear quarter panel. But on an RS coupe, which is the car in question, when I put larger tires on, there were no clearance issues in the front - only the rear, which has very much to do with the quarter panels.

Yes, totally. Ben, thanks for hooking up your I-club brethren and hope you made it to your shindig.

No rubbing on the way home, thanks to you.

Ben's da man! Rolled one front fender for me like he's been doing it for a week. Too bad when I did my other front fender, I crizzacked the paint. Oh well, that fender has some boo-boo that needs some paint attention anyhow.

Thanks again for hosting this Ben! Luckily we didn't get any harrasment from the Police that was chilling around the corner as we took off.

I believe I referred to the fender lip. Anyhow I still don't understand where you found your information about not rolling the rear fenders. Is this just your opinion?many an rs coupe have rolled rear fenders

My post that you quoted there and the PM I sent you both mention that THIS IS REGARDING HIS SPECIFIC CAR. I will go back and edit my posts in an effort to stop this confusion. Again, I should have sent chochocho a PM but for some reason I did not. I am sorry. Yes, many an RS Coupe has rolled rear quarter panel openings, just like the one I am talking about here.

You also said "fender lip" not "front fender lip only" and since lots of people refer to the rear quarter panel as the "rear fender" it is unclear that you are doing this on the front only - not that it matters.

Just want to add that it's pretty awesome that you are doing this for people!

No worries, and not pissed at all. It was dumb of me to post that, and I should have just done a PM to chochocho in the first place. Just wanted to make sure you knew I was talking about a particular car and not all cars.
