Other than that, check to make sure the fender bolts are tight. Someone posted that they filed off the top of the fender bolt. It has a slight lip on the outside edge.G6P member 340

I put small pieces of electrical tape on the struts where it touches that bolt, just to protect them, and so far it's been working...the bolt hasn't gone through the tape yet.

I'm just kidding really, it just sounded kinda funny. But I do hope in the long run this doesn't cause bigger problems. Especially since I'm seeing the same on mine. I doubt it will do anything bad besides making it look a little worse. But realistically, as a good business gesture perhaps Redline Tuning should do something for us anyway?

I doubt Redline will do anything. Like they said, their test car was fine. They saw where it might rub if it where put on slightly wrong. That means they are throwing it back at us saying "Ours works so you all did it wrong" When it seams more like thats not the case since so many people do have it rubbing.
Redline can graciously correct me if im wrong.
