deleting the bumper/fender tab reduces metal-on-tire contact (that usually results in shredding/scalloping the tires). in place of the tab, it's a self-tapping sheet metal screw that is drilled upwards to attach the bumper to the fender.
fender rolling allows you to retain the fender lip and possibly shave it down if you really need that extra clearance. it also preserves the structural rigidity of the fender along the wheel well. shaving removes that fender lip. it comes down to what you're comfortable with.

^ thanks! always super helpful.
another quick review about tommy's work! got my calipers painted by him, turned out great!
he's also been doing my suspension work , exhaust installs, etc. the drop he did for me was perfect, clears my tires with just enough clearance without rubbing. highly recommended 
flexible hours, great to deal with!

Tommy does great work. He did my pads and rotors, both front and back for a really good price. He also noticed my suspension was uneven so he redid the height on all 4 for free. He is a perfectionist, he doesn't cut any corners. He is also very very flexible with his hours.

If it requires pressing out a bushing with a metal sleeve, then Tommy can't do it. I asked him about it couple weeks ago and told me he doesn't have a press to press out the metal sleeve from the #2 control arm. I ended up taking off the arms and just took it to a shop to press out the stock bushings and press the new ones in.

Just got my Tanabe Springs installed by Tommy. Took him about an hour, even took a 10 minute break to look at another persons car who pulled up.
This guy is the king. Will no doubt go here for all car needs in the future. He didn't even have to go through the trunk to do the rears. He said something about my generation GS is built different.
A++++++++++++ highly recommended!!!
