Default fender banging *BIG PICS*

ok well a while ago (over 6 months) i hit a deer and it f*ed up a lot of my car including my driver side fender, and when i would drive around with it messed up and hit a bump, you would hear this loud bang come from it, i was told it was beant so it made that noise, i did get a new fener a couple days after that and it didn't make the noise anymore, but after getting my tsx retrofit installed :grin: i started hearing the same bang coming from the front driver side of the car, it sounds almost exact like the noise the old fender made so i'm going to mess with it tomorrow and take off the fender and see if it still makes the noise, so the whole point of this long message was to ask, when taking off the fender, there is 3 bolts on the top side of the fender under the hood, then there are all the "plugs"? that snap the wheel well in and i think there are more under the side skirt, did i get them all? or can someone just show me which ones from a diagram


i'll post tsx pics later

ask the dude who did your retrofit. You say it happened only after the retrofit.. he must've screwed somethin up then.

i think its cause the fender is aftermarket and my friend was leaning on it when we were getting it installed so i think it might of moved it cause when i open my door now it hits the fender, not a lot, but enough to where you hear it
