I know what you talking about.

That hump at the end of the fenders where it meets the rear bumper.
I got the same thing when I rolled my fenders.
If it bothers you that much use a rubber mallet and a microfiber towel and bang it lightly.
I live with mine no biggie and no one picks up on it.

Looks fine, I did that to mine also slightly, its called a fender pull instead, and hardly noticeable and gives you more clearance for low offset wheels. I didn't pull mine so much though but I think it looks good

I really didn't pull mine when we did the roll. Yours will be fine, as long as it's uniform along the wheelwell, and on both sides. I'd be concerned if it was wavy or uneven. Otherwise, you're fine. Now you can run lower offsets and fit fatter tires!

Yea I made sure to watch for that on yours, and be less aggressive towards the end where the pull would occur. Its hardly noticeable on mine, and if there was any on yours, it was very slight because I didn't notice it while I was doing it

Looks fine to me. You don't have to roll the entire fender perimeter, just the part that will rub.

that's not f^ck up.

that's how fenders look when you pull it out a bit.

it's unavoidable.

if you simply roll your fenders (bend the inner tab), you will not get as much clearance.

the only way to keep that from happening is to take sheet metal snips and clip the end of the inner lip from where it joins the bumper mount. there is a corner at the end of the inner quarter panel lip (where the bumper bolts on) that gets pulled up from the roll.

edit: the best way i can illustrate this--in the first picture with the red quarter panel, if you follow the part you want to roll all the way down to where it ends and the bumper begins, cut horizontally so that the lip can be rolled without pulling up the corner of the quarter panel. if you cut the metal, you are going to have to cover the cut end with silicon caulk to keep it from rusting.

yeah you did fvcked it up

that part needs to be straight. Looks like you applied too much pressure at once instead of little bit of pressure and go over the area for few times.

Try heating it up and gently bent it back with your hands

or better yet.

rent the tool and do it on the reverse side. Same........heat it up with hair fan and roll. Mask it with the tape first to prevent scratching.
