There are 4 locations at the front inner fenders that will need to be trimmed for clearance to the frame.... Actually one spot hits the passenger top upper A-arm.

Here are a few pictures of the Opps. See if you can spot them. It happens and that's why its a good idea to check your work.

This is exactly whey I don't let ANYONE touch my car unless it's absolutely neccessary. As the old saying goes, "If you want it done right, do it yourself" In this genre, it's never been a more factual statement.

With that being said, I'd let Brett work on my car.

I couldn't agree with you more Vegas. I dealt with a similar debacle that cost me over 5 g's and nothing to show for but shoty work. My car is safe and sound in my possession now.

After seeing some of the high-quality work done by a handful of shops on here, I would sleep well knowing my car was in there hands.

Sucks you had to deal with this Chad, but at least now you are on the right track now and will have your car finished soon and done right this time. Car looks awesome with those wheels!

The TCI subframe upper bar is much higher than the stock subframe. Nornally the inner fenders ride on top of the stock subframe. With the TCI frame being narrower and the second bar being higher the fenders make slight contact. My fenders have 40 years of tweaking on them. No idea if you would have to clearance virgin perfect fenders or not (guessing not).
