Why are you putting on wide fenders? Cosmetic or clearance?
If cosmetic then it's your choice.
If clearance then you will have to cut.

Agreed. I did a writeup on what to cut years ago, I'm sure you can find it by searching my username with cut and quarterpanel.

I don't think you'd need to make the quarter panels cute if you want to put wide ones on. They're just going to be covered anyway :angel:

In one of your posts you said some body shops use 3M tape. What 3M tape is this?
I'm looking to install mine. Wonder if there's an easier way than drilling and rivets.

I put seam sealer over the seam welds for an airtight seal.

are you kidding me?
DONT cut that shit up or cover it up with a overfender.
DO go inside the car, remove the interior trim, push that shit out with your hand. done in 5 minutes.

exactly, that dent is in a location where you could just push it out literally from the inside.
