I thought you rolled the fender and shaved that part that connects the qtr panel to the bumper. Where does it rub?

Your car looks good slammed.

Blake, have you had good communication with xenonmods.com lately ?
That's who did all of my etched-glass window decals, and I've been trying to get some more custom work done in that same style, but they have not been replying to my barrage of e-mails.
Let me know if you've got better e-mail than what's posted on their site.
Thanks. Carlos.

Sorry Robert,

I didn't communicate with them at all. I placed the order through their website for caliper decals on two separate occasions and the decals arrived shortly after placing each of the orders. My most recent purchase was sent via PayPal to rjcalnan@xenonmods.com on May 15th. Hope that helps.
