so remember this?
well, i finally got around to fixing it. well, sort of.
basically, you need a rubber mallet, heat gun, a soft clean towel, a small piece of wood, and a flat surface(i used my floor)
first you need to heat the outside of the fender to prevent the paint from chipping off when your hammering away at it.
then, flip the fender upsidedown so youre hammering from the inside. place the towel on the ground so you dont scratch the paint. MAKE SURE the towl is clean or else dirt will be imprinted onto the paint of your fender.
this is when you use that small piece of wood. use the flat edges of it to flatten the dented parts of the fender.
this is the finished product.
its completely flat now. not more dent. only thing is the paint is still chipped off from before. but ill deal with that later.

yes those are mutekis
and for the rs1 lip, you can just put screws on each end of the lip. if there are no holes, drill a small hole and then drill into the side bottom of the bumper. i think you're supposed to put like 2 screws on each end, but i was only running one on each. but my dumbass didnt screw it in tight enough, so i had to resort to using a ziptie on one side. now the part where it meets the bottom grill, you might have to shave off about half an inch depending what bottom grill your running. if your using the 08-10 grill, you cuz just bend it upward and it will fit fine. if youre using the 05-07 or the ebay badgeless grill, you will need to shave part of it off. i just used a dremel and hacked away at it.

Pretty sure he threw 1 in there somewhere?!?....
Dude, i swear if anyone ever needed help doing anything, they could just read this thread lol. SL doesnt need a DIY section, haha. I've been trying to get my lower vrd grille to fit with my rs1 lip, thanks for the info. Oh and you did a ____ good job on the fenders. Mad props bro.
