I guess I may use some Wenol polish as recommended on FB.

Did a poor-man respray of the hood with Dr. ColorChip. From far off it looks better, but up close you can still see where the rocks got me. Was in a hurry, so no before and after pics.

Dane, those tips look damn classy. I love the brushed look.

Had my third appointment with RMS fender rolling. This guy is amazing; I think we got it this time!

so does that mean you can go more low now?

on a side note...was there anything under the car other than the jack in case it failed?

Haha, nah. This means I can keep my current lows without rubbing.

There wasn't anything under it.

The part that rubs is the front section of the rear fender. On the driver's side I remember I had to tuck more metal in at about 10 o' clock. My rubber disappeared after that. The rear bumper clip bolt wasn't the culprit when I was trying to diagnose. Watch out for the sealing of the inside fender. Make sure it's sealed really good because water will get in there and will rust as my 330 did. No matter what the pressure from the roller causes micro fractures in the paint especially at the edge that you may not see. I did all the right things when I rolled my fender with a heat gun except seal it.

yeah that's the exact same place for me. except on my car, it was also rubbing on the bumper so i had to cut that too. but i sealed everything up. doesn't matter though cause i'm getting m3 rear fenders some day anyways

You'll still want to roll them...LOL. My moto: Life's too short to stay completely stock. haha

Hmm, I'll have to look again at that. The rms guy was convinced it was rear section. Doesn't the rear tow make the rear section more likely?
