How does it look? I just need the back done, not the front. Is it expensive?

------------------

 

What is done is the inner fender lip is either rolled(meaning it is roll up) or sometimes you can cut it off. Some people use baseball bats to roll it, you can also take it to a body shop and have them cut the fender lip off. If you do it yourself with a bat it doesn cost nothing, I dont know how much a body shop would charge to cut the lip off.

 

what exactly is the fender lip? i thought everyone was referring to that plastic piece that runs on the inside of your fender at the top where the tires might rub....i looked at it the other day and saw where my old rims had rubbed and i thought to myself......hey, i can cut that off because it isn't really needed and only gets in the way. so are you guys talking about bending the actual fender, the part you see on the outside, in and making it look like someone hit you?

 

Check out these pics and instructions. Not fot the TL but gives you a good idea.

looks painful to me

 

If you want to roll your fenders as described for the Integra, make sure you heat up the surface where you are going to roll with the bat, with a heat gun or hair dryer to pretend paint chipping...

Definately use a heat gun or blow dryer. Spend $50 bucks and rent a fender roller. You just take off your wheel, bolt the fender roller on and roll it back and forth. It has a silicone roller at point that that touches the fender. Its totally adjustable and is much safer for your paint. Honda/Acura paint is VERY brittle. And take it slow. Do it evenly around the wheel well. Don't fold in one spot too much or it's will cause waves in the rest of the folds.

 

Wow, doesnt look that hard. Think I can do it myself?
