If you take the rear bumper off, there's another layer of sheet metal, I cut that out and then pulled the rear fenders out about 3/4 of an inch.

Also cut the inside edges off of the rear bumper

My first set I rolled myself. That wasnt enough as one of my many sets of wheels ended up catching on the fender and cracking/ripping it.
Left about an inch crack in the center of the fender. (above the tire)

Then the passenger side started.

I bought my current fenders from felixy069, or something like that.
He paid to have them pulled. I bought them cheap as hell. :D

Low offset, wide wheels, and small tires.
It can be done on the Fit but youll have to deal with rubbing. If you aren rubbing your stance isnt right.
:-P

The bumper mounting tabs can be cut off and you can use a zip tie to secure the rear bumper.

Well I'll bring an old thread back to life. I currently have skunk2's sitting in my room. I have HFP wheels with 15mm spacers in the rear. They rub a bit now when going over big bumps so I know the rear fenders need to be rolled and pulled to prepare for the coils.

Would it be best to just go to a shop. If they chip the paint will they paint it free.

Odds are they will have you sign a waiver that says if they chip/crack your paint they wont do anything about it. You will definitely rub with those spacers in there too.

Hmm, Im going to start visiting local shops. I have until the winter is over to get this done. The rear bumper is 100% color match maybe ill have them flare the fenders and paint the rear end of the car (fenders, bumper) and blend them.
