That isn't the jack up point. for the fronts, there are two per side that look like jack points and you should be using the rearward of the two.

You can leave it or bend it back, up to you. Won't matter at all for functionality, safety, structure, etc.

 

Do you understand what a pinch weld is and what it does?

It is part of the STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY of the car, getting rid of it (which bring up another question of how the hell you plan on doing this) will basically ruin the car. If you are too moronic to realize this just because you want to have a "slammed" car with shit suspension, please do us all a favour and sell you car.

The front part that you already f@#ked up is part of the fender, not the pinch weld.

EDIT: I just saw your response Chris, my reply is not directed to you in any way, haha.

 

Could be your mufflers bottoming out. Either way, raise the car like a grownup

 

Yea I did not plan to remove it, I was just wondering whether people would do that just to slam their car. Because I've seen people slam their S, so that made me wonder what they do to their pinch weld? My car does not sit as low as theirs, yet I still bent mine.

Grinding on that wood grain?

 

You gonna need a BFH to bend that back.

 

I'm hoping this is a roll bread.

 

any updates on the pinch weld situation?

 

he trimmed and relocated them just like the Bumper tab / relo DIY stated
