    :oops:

    You could probably still get it and smooth out your fenders a bit. The import scene has been doing this for a while, but they usually wedge a bat in between the tire and fender and roll the car forward. The tire grips the bat and does all the work. Might not work for us unless we pull the shock or find a way to compress the suspension enough to close that gap. Maybe a fender roller pass around thread for anyone interested? Just a though...

    I go now...

    I used to have an Audi S4 and I rolled the flares on it with the Eastwood and I originally tried that and realized it wouldn't fit

    One size bigger tire then stock.
    I'm doing the "poor man bushwacker" mod
    I got a few questions.is the fender liner important?
    I ask because I see the cold air intake above the right front tire as well as the fact I trashed the clips that hold it in.
    Any alternatives?

    You'll probably have to buy new clips. I've got a snorkel so it wasn't an issue for me. Maybe someone else can chime in on where to get new clips

    What about the black ones that ahold the fender liner inside the front fender?
    I think I salvaged enough to make then stay. But not sure.
    I'm replacing the red and blue clips with bolts and nuts.
