You can see that I'm not completely bottomed on either slot (close on the front), but I'm touching the fender. I don't really want to cut the fenders here, so see below as to how I decided to attack it.
I'm debating cutting the lip to see if that gets me a more reasonable fit. I don't want to, but the fact that you are having problems with aftermarket parts that aren't too much different than what I have going on factory equipped, is making me lean towards that.
