That is the easiest way to get a decent pull out of the rear fender. Nothing was welded or added. The inner skin was just cut back an inch to make the fender weak enough to be pulled. Fender sealer was used to re-seal the two layers. This is pretty standard practice to do on rear quarter panels because of how thick they are... I got a solid 1/2" more clearance out of it and the pull is not crazy noticeable like a stance car.
