ok again with this fender rolling thing... I'm not sure what ppl are talkinga bout with some fender rolling tool..

we used to just use an aluminum bat and "roll" it alon the fender so that it would curl in. on my rear wheels of my civic I used a small dremel tool and cut out the inner part of the fender where it rubbed. was really careful so paint dind't crack around it. basically the same thing ppl used to do to put in JDM sidemarkers to a USDM fender on the civics/integras etc...

if you're in Cali I wouldn't mind helping you do it. I'm here in SoCal until Mid August.

My last car was slammed - I just cut the inside of the fender into 1" sections with a metal cutter, and then hammered the sections up. Cutting the metal first prevents warping.

Yeah this way is kinda ghetto - but it cost my $0.00 and took me half an hour

be careful when you're rolling it back not to crack the paint and fuck it all up...do it a bit at a time.
