Ppl low or who have rolled fender

Hey is the driver's side wheel closer to the wheel on your car than the passenger side? For some reason when my car is low I'll rub on the driver's side but not the passenger side. Or is it just my car? I've been reading TL boards from the get go but I've never seen this discussed.

I'm about to get my fenders trimmed on Monday anyways, but I guess I want to see if other ppl have the same problem.

You sit on the driver's side, that side is probably alittle bit lower. Get your fatass to Weight Watcher. You know I am just kidding Mike.

What do you mean by trimming the fender? The actual metal part of the fender? If it is, then good luck. You better have some high end dremel tool. Also, make sure you put touch up paint back on where you had trimmed because it will rust if you don't.

i had mine rolled....looks perfect, no more rubbing. i did it on both sides because once i had people sit in the back (and if the trunk was full), both sides would rub. they rolled the entire arch and trimmed the bumper to match it....you can't even tell anything was done. i'm very happy with it.
