Bumped an old thread, Haha!
Ahhh, sorry to hear it Kelly. You're supposed to learn from my mistakes! If the damage isn't too bad, a paintless dent removal guy should be able to clean it up for you. GL!

^ Do fender mods at the same time you lower. I've been driving around on unmodified fenders for a week, knowing that something like this might happen. Also when approaching a driveway, turn your wheels away from the driveway, not into it.

What ride height are you guys sitting on?

I'm at 26.6" and I'll scrape the upper fender at speed on the freeway coming out of a dip but nothing serious yet.

Don't want to screw my fenders up.
