Default Too low and paid the price

I was pulling into a driveway a couple of nights ago, and as I was pulling in I hear the standard scraping noise but then it sounded like my bumper popped off or something. So i get out and see what happened. Part of fender popped out from the wheel being turned into it going up i guess is what happened. Any ideas on a fix for it? Or maybe should I take it to like a dentless repair shop?





It sucks I raised the car today and it wont rub anymore and wont hit the piece like it was before. But I still would like to get it fixed.

i had the same thing happen to me, but i just used a crowbar and popped it back in. needless to say, my fenders are definitely not in the best condition.

been there.
done that.
go get it fixed and then get your fenders rolled.
as far as getting it fixed goes, follow previous advice.
the place I got my fenders rolled at just heated it and carefully bent it back before rolling, so it doesn't look dead on, but it's not cutting chunks out of tires any more!
