AGH the vid of you vs Summer is the shit, so many cool noises. You can hear the cobras blower, your wastegate and turbo. I just like to listen to that one.

Thanks for the vid,, hows the roller working out?

The roller is doing its job. The fender lip on the rear is pretty tough. I took the 90 degree lip on one side and bent it up to about a 45-55 degrees with no damage or paint chipping. I took the shock off for testing and my tire can sqaut 1" into my fender before it touches the lip, not sure if thats enough. The fender lip seems to not want to bend anymore without risk of me starting to pull the fender outwards, and I don't want to dimple/wrinkle the fender.

I'd like to get the lip close to flat and I've thought about cutting some slits on the inner lip but I've also heard that can cause fender dimples due to the weakened rigidity around the slits.

I also have coilovers I'm putting on so I can raise the rear end a bit to avoid fender/tire contact. I'll have to do some testing. I had to fly to Nevada last minute as my brother is sick but I should done with the roller next week at this time.
