On bumps I would hear the rubbing like crazy and turns only , b4 alignment of course !!! It sounded like metal to Metal but apparently It was that liner! Now Its to dark so I won be able to take pics , maybe tommorow , just call autoglitz and ask what they dis exactly , they had my car for a couple hours so they can give you all details on rubbing and what they trimmed.

I think it's gotta be my bumper bracket because the noise is pretty loud and the fender liners seem soft, so I don't think a rub on them (fender liners)over a bump or dip would be very loud, if you could even hear that it all. Like you said it sounds like metal on metal type of scrape, almost similar to a bottom out of the undercarriage of the car, but it's OBV. not that.

Just went outside with a flashlight, LOL, it looks like it could be the bolt that holds the bumper bracket thing in?? I can't see anything else it could be, there's a ton of room up under the wheel well, and the tires are tucked inside the outside of the fender so it can't be the fender, has to be that bolt on the bracket from what I see.

I never actually saw a bumper bracket! I thought it was liner but that's y im going to call them tomorow to find out what exactly was trimmed or cut, my right side actually still hitting but not as bad and only on aggresive turns and hard bumps

Yep, my right side hits much more often also, funny how that is, and I'm talking with no passengers.

Any luck Diego?? Did you go back today?? I called them and Orlando told me to come by any time and they will take a look and trim the fender lining etc. as needed. Funny thing is I don't seem to be really rubbing much right now, it almost seems to have gone away, LOL. I can't figure this out.

On another note, I did measure today and there is about 1/4 inch of space from the edge of my tire to the inside of the fender/wheel well so I think I actually could get away with a 5MM spacer, which would have no effect on the current rubbing issue, it def seems like you have the perfect offset.
