What do you think caused this?

Pulled the car out today, and found this on the right front fender well, what do you think would cause this.

I was in this wheel well cleaning it several weeks ago, but don't recall seeing it when I was in there.



Thanks

Michael

Hey Mike! Nice to hear from you.

I would think it was the tire on a load some how during a turn.

Other then that, it might have been some one tryng to lift the car by hand in order to slide the lift arms underneath at a mechanic shop.

How did it go with Gary by the way?

The tire cought the lip. That's a good reason to shave them off.

I just got home from being gone for the last few weeks, I was hoping to go over and talk to him.

How do I get around talking to the guy in the front?

Well, just ask for Gary, it's not that large of a place.

Mine did the same thing. After lowering I hit a big bump and the tire caught the lip. I rolled the front fender and all is well now.

I pushed it back up, then went over to Factory Werks and hit the driveway to fast, and it was back down again.

Will roll my lip.
