heres 2 pics with the hood. if you look closely on the fender you can see the inner lip is bent down towards the tire. the tire must have caught the fender turning into somewhere. i hammered it back and went ahead and rolled it up so it doesnt happen again. im also hiting pinch welds on bumps now so i need to fix that. :banghead:

Wheels look good, instead of putting bigger tires on em, you could just lower it more
