Hey Duck,
Thanks for posting the picture. Every time someone does post a picture of a Jade green SC or Soarer like my car I get excited and have got to go outside and do at least one thing to my car.
Thanks,
Bill

Default ROLL/SHAVE fenders??



Finally got her back from the shop today. Had to put the stock front control arms back on for now SMH
Think I’m gonna roll or shave the fenders because it’s rubbing when I make certain turns or go even a little fast over a bump lol

I humbly suggest you not touch the fenders.

That said, the car looks great!

If you have the skills or the money, shaving them is the way to go on these cars. Mine are rolled, and it's incredibly hard to roll these cars thick fender lip material without distorting the fenders to some degree. Car looks great man!

I had some rubbing when I went with 18" wheels and had to make the same decision. I am not familiar with shaving but I have seen some really bad results from rolling them.

I adjusted my coils to raise the body just a little and the problem went away without modifying the fenders, so I never had to make a decision about what to do.

BTW your car looks great @SCloverboy

I will “chime in” and suggest NOT to touch your fenders and instead adjust the ride height and the stops to avoid any rubbing. The lowered look into the wheel well doesn’t accomplish much IMO.

It is your car so do what you want but understand the trade offs.
