Re: did anyone here roll their quarter panels?
What type of structural significance does it pose? I don't see any direct relationship to the inner lip and the panel, besides as detailed earlier it's ability to be welded to the floor of the car during production. Rolling the fender would have the same effect on it as cutting it off. I'm pretty sure I'll be just fine, not to mention I might leave a tiny 5 mm lip just for show.

^ Hm, I donno I'm still not convinced. I'll do some research of my own and find out what's going on.

I just think that cutting it is the most expedient way to get it done. It's not like I play basket ball on my rear fender, I don't really need it to be stronger versus weaker. I guess I don't see any drawbacks. besides the fact that I have to get it repainted, which I'm going to do anyways. Oh well.

Hmm... Cutting the inner lip off. That's interesting. One sucky thing that just came to mind about rolling is that dirt and grime would get stuck behind the lip on the inside and could eventually cause corrosion. Especially true for where I live (the NorthEast).
