i just realized i didnt have the rears tucked all the way, i was afraid to do so because it would creak when you lowered the rears...but today i was angry at the creaking and i just let it dropped. Now I can tuck a good amount of the rear wheel in. And no more creaking =)

He probably did pull the fenders a bit. It is like a much more expensive way of doing the newspaper method.

The newspaper method is a really ghetto way of pulling fenders. You take newspapers and stack them on your rim/tire and you slowly lower the car on to the newspaper. Since the newspaper stacks are thick it won't compress much and your fenders will slowly pull out.

Your car looks so much better now Tom. It is hard to believe it is the same car looking at the older pictures.
