is your car lowered? does it rub?

my car was fine until i slammed it and the tires starated to rub on the fender tab. do the fender tab mod and it MIGHT do the trick. you have to take off the bumper and re-align it

Nope my car isn't lowered. It doesn't really affect anything, like it doesn't make noise or flap in the wind. It's just not stuck on right lol

Eh mine occurred after an accident. The body shop had trouble aligning things. I'm going to take mine off one day and try to reattach it myself to see if there's anything that I can do better.
