Tips for shaving rear quarter panels/ fenders
So I lowered my car a bit and I rub over any bump or dip when my car is full lol. I am going to try and shave my rears this weekend. I am going to use a belt sander with 50 or 80 grit sandpaper. I am just worried about the weld spots. Does anyone have any tips and also how much can I shave before I get to the welds? Leave maybe 1/8 inch or 1/4? Thank you

Check my thread out. Just use a air cutter. Work slow.

If you cut more than a few mm you will lose the plastic bits that the trim screws into. I guess you could maybe find a way to attach the trim back to the remaining lip withbadhesive or a clip, but to answer your question, you lose the trim when you cut

Have you done them yet? I’m trying to figure out how much to take off on mine. Or if I should pull a bit first... I was told it’s hard to pull after you’ve cut.

Have you considered a fender roller tool or the phone book/magazine method?

Rolling the welded rear fenders doesn't work, they dimple.
You have to cut them (I used a cutoff wheel from harbor freight and no experience, came out fine, just need to be careful!)
