So did anyone try rolling the front fenders?

I was taking a look at it, and it seems like the plastic fender well cover is whats rubbing on mine. If you feel for the topmost part under the front fender lip, theres a plastic piece that flares out from the middle. Thats the part my tires are kinda rubbing on. Does anyone know if the metal body is under that flared out piece?

I'm going to try taking the cover off and examining it. Hopefully theres no metal piece under the flared part. If there is, I'm going to try to roll it up a lil. For the cover, I'm going to cut out the flared piece.... I'll let you guys know how it goes....

there are two flared pieces that rub on mine. The first is the plastic piece right in the middle and the next is towards the front of the car. So you're just going to cut it out??

I have the Tein RA lowered .9" front and 1.1" rear, about a "1 finger gap". I have noticed some noise on very rough roads like have been described and I think this is the nature of pillow ball upper mounts. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Then again the noise is very minor in my case.

does anyone know about how many mm of clearance you can gain from rolling the fenders?
