So ive already tucked my harness and everything im looking for a write up or pictures of pounded down seams to see what other people have done to prevent these from sawing into your tires lol. I cannot seem to find any threads showing pictures of what was done. Any help is appreciated

I'm sorry that i can't provide a link due to lazy drunkiness but i think whitecomet has provided a wire tuck guide, including the harness above the wheel well (which is what i think your talking about). Good luck.

Lol, well I'm almost positive that whitecomet covered this. I'll try to find it... f*** i can't...

I would possibly pound down the seems (I'm guessing your talking about the drivers side front fender) as if I was using the same technique as that japanese guy rolling those fenders.

I don't see why the same technique wouldn't work.

hammer. theres no pretty way to do it.

if youre talking about fender rolling, thats a different story, either use a sawed-off baseball bat or a fender roller

I used channel locks, manned the hell up on them and bent the metal out of the way.

BFH would prolly work just as well.

Kinda hard to tell, but the seam is bent inwards.
