Fender Paint Crack

so i noticed on my car that the paint has cracked on both fenders at the exact same location. i just recently dropped it on tein basics, but i am pretty sure that this is not the case. there is no rubbing in the front, everything is fine. anybody know what maybe causing this?

sorry gdupsedan for using your pic

Take it to the dealer and talk to them about it.

My paint is starting to peal on the front bumper at the same location if you moved clockwise to 3 oclock from where your arrow is my paint is pealing right there...

are you sure you're not rubbing while taking hard turns? feel the fender and see if it is bent upwards.

What's up with the 20"s? I've seen you running around ucla lately with what looks to be 350z track wheels. I sitll can't make my mind on that m spoiler, it looks good...but still need to think about. Wish I knew what was causing the cracking, did you roll your fenders? It may be begining to give, if you rolled them.

I had some 17in oem wheels on for a while. i just put the jlines back on. im most likely going to dial in some more neg camber in the front. the front fenders are already rolled from factory, but maybe ill need to roll them even more.

when i had my rear fenders rolled, i experienced paint chipping and cracking. i ended up having a reputable body shop sand down the affected area, repaint, and re-clearcoat quarterpanels on both sides. before doing so, he rolled the fender back even more so i now i probably can run 295s! still it was almost a grand to do the repairs.
