Part 2:
Last sunday some asshat backed into my car, rolling the rear fender lip in about 1". Didn't bother to leave a note or take any responsibility for their stupidity. On top of that, the friggin cop acted like I was being unreasonable for making him fill out a report on a hit and run. At least I don't live in Tulsa anymore, as the cops there won't respond to any vehicle accident unless it involves injury, or a city vehicle........
While most times there's no problem with having the fender lip knocked in a little on these cars, my tire/ wheel combo and suspension don't allow for any room to spare.
I had just got a new set of RT615's put on 2 days before, so I couldn't even drive the car without cutting the hell out the LR tire, so it had to sit.
I borrowed a slide hammer with a hook on the end, and managed to get the fender lip back out enough to *hopefully* prevent any tire rub issue.
I'm still left with a scrape that starts just behind the door, and ends near the back of the fender lip, just barely above the bottom of the lip at it's highest point. Not sure how much room there is to get to the backside of the rear quarter panel in order to work that part out.
Granted, I was planning to repaint the car in the near future, but aside from one very small ding, about 6" behind the freshly damaged area, it needed zero bodywork.

I f'in HATE stupid people!!!!!!!!
