Default Waves in Rolled Fenders

Just got the fenders on my GS rolled, and was expecting the job to be perfect since the shop charged me nearly $400.00 to do it. Unfortunately however, there seems to be an imperfection in the job and I wanted to see what you guys think. Should I take it back or am I overreacting? Also don't mind the hideously scraped tires, that all happened in the drive home from the shop that installed the springs.

Minor PDR work, they should fix it. Basically they dinged that fender from the back side of it causing the high spot.

Are you sure you didn't make contact with the fender? Your tire sidewall is pretty scratched up.

Yeah, this is why I always get wheels and tires that fit the car without messing with body work. But this was back in my Camry days, now I don't even mess with the GS at all.

I would never buy a car that has molested fenders.

What exactly is beating when it comes to a Toyota/Lexus? Serious question.

That was from the drive home after getting the springs installed, rubbed terribly on the ride home.

I would typically never do anything like this. However, getting these wheels and tires has been such a long and arduous process. I felt like I no longer had the choice and had to just settle with getting the fenders rolled/pulled. All over this forum people said that 20x10.5 would fit easily with a 275 wide tire, and obviously it wasn't true.

Yeah I'm running BC coils, but even then plenty of people have posted their builds lowered with 20x10.5 never with an indication that fender work needed to be performed. Highly regret sending back the 20x10's thinking that I had gone too narrow.

Quick update:
I brought it back to the shop and they essentially said that it wasn't their fault and they're not paying for it. They only gave me a phone number to a PDR dude they recommended.
