Rolled my rear fenders.. first time attempting a roll, so i didn't do so good the first time (i didn't heat it up enough) so i just re-rolled it and made sure i heated it good the second time. Rolled and pulled my front fenders. I have a messed up driver side (and that's why you don't see it in the pics ) Cut off both front fender liners, too.
i see, thanks so much for sharing

i'm currently figuring out ways to find more clearance to go lower thinking of shaving my rear fender but not so sure if i want to modify front fender because i heard it's weaker and easily bent, etc

Of course, I don't mind sharing

I was reading about front fender modification... I was debating between shaving vs. rolling. Definitely ended up rolling because the fenders are so fragile, i didn't want anything to happen especially since i daily drive the car. I suppose the only thing you could do after fender modification (for the rear) is look into camber kits, but i'm on the fence. I don't want to wear out the tires even more than "normal"! hahaha
