Hey guys, the recent bodywork that my wife did to my car is leading it to the paint booth. Which is giving me the chance to pull the fenders some. I don't want "flares". I want to keep the narrow body look. I have seen LaMonica's and like his. I just want to see some others to show the body shop.

Any pics would be greatly appreciated.

but the pulled fenders will be a nice way to make the best of a bad situation...
and new wider tires will be in your future:

When you pull the fender, the metal has to come from somewhere. Usually that means wider gaps at the doors & hood.

I know. I assumed that they would have to cut and fill. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Just remember that if you go wider, that takes up more space in the garage ... and will be even easier to hit again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

I think these were rolled about 1/2" to 3/4" wider than stock. (Correct me here if I am wrong, Andyrew) Fitting 16x7 Fuchs.
