Default my fender flare

I get a lot of people asking how I rolled my front fenders. They were not really rolled they were hammered out and repainted. No metal was added, the lip was just hammered up and out. I still have the OEM fender liners, I just had to trim off a little. After the fenders where done i had to lower the car another 1/2" to eliminate the wheel gap. The rims are 9.5+47 with a 255/40/17 all around. I have never rubbed. I have -2.5 camber up front and -3.5 in the rear.

Have you tried to heat the liner to mold it more?

Fenders look good. You did it the right way

it is completely flush for the most part. it is just the small area where the bumper and fender meet that there is a tiny gap. i really doubt air gets in there my car is so low there is not really a gap between the tire and fender.

Looks good. I've been wanting to do this for a long time. I keep trying to find an extra set of fenders but so far have had no luck at all.
