Example...I just changed rims this past weekend so I could clear a bigger BBK...the tire combo winded up pushing my front fender out cause I was too low and cracked the paint a little.....oh well now I can get a whole new paint job! LOL
Sorry to hear about that, Chris. I'm kinda in a similar situation. I just recently discovered that thanks to CA Wheels' outstanding fender roll job, my paint on the inner fender is cracking like crazy and threating to peel over to the outside fender/quarter panel.

That sucks Rob. Thats why I had Mach III roll my fenders before my car gets repainted.

Is this happening on both fenders or just the one that was repainted?

Me before: 3 in. Top Speed Exhaust + Top Speed Y-Pipe + Crawford Cats =

Me after: Stock Exhaust + Top Speed Y-Pipe + Crawford Cats =


But for those who complain, they should get a bike... I'm learning this the hard way right now...

ZX-6R + Stock Exhaust =

ZX-6R + Akrapovic Race Slip On =

It's definately not as deep as the G + Top Speed, but because I'm almost sitting right on top of it, and sound is not obstructed, it makes the G sound quiet (When I had the Top Speed on, that is...)

At the time I got my fenders rolled, the only place referred to me was CA Wheels, so that's where I went.

No, just driver side. It probably would've happened on the other fender, too, had I not had it repaired for a previous, pre-exisiting problem.

Droan...been there had that for years. I never bitched with mine, but gave FYI's to others considering same one including it's pluses in review threads.

Ppl who didn't research reviews or PM owners asking with that system first, have no one else to blame but themselves if they didn't want droan = go cry in a river lol.

There's ones out there with no droan and still good gains other than oem. I'll be sportin one of those soon after G is out of repair shop

If your going to modify your vehicle, your going to have to deal with some issues of noise pollution. Just thought I would vent a little bit!
+1. enough said.

I agree with many here. If you alter your car in any way, then put up with the things that can result from it. I got creaks in my passenger rear after coilover were put on. All well. Its life. I get about 16MPG. All well. I dont expect alot anyways from the G. I got all sorts of rattles from audio system. Price I gotta pay.

Suck it up and move on...
howww??? my cars almost stock and my average shows 12! lol. maybe the way i drive =D
