Need help with correct rear fender groove/s

Hi,
I am restoring my '86 930 Turbo and need inputs from you guys re: my rear fender lip shape. This is original metal w/o filler.
Right rear fender looks ok.


However, the left rear fender looks kinda strange. (look at the lip).

Does this look normal?

Is left really a little different from right?
Should I "fix" the left portion with filler?
Appreciate inputs from experts here.
Thank you.

Sorry if I don't have the proper word. I guess I mean lip.

there might be some repair work done but not to many people compare side to side, i think it is ok, unless it drives you crazy! then fix it.

It's too sharp. The transition should be more rounded.

You said it was an 86? When did they change the torsion tube holes? I thought they didn't do that until 89 to allow for the g50 trans?
