I reckon it doesn't look bad at all without overfenders etc. Keep in mind my car is stock height now. With new shocks/springs or coilovers and a proper alignment it will naturally achieve some camber, that in combination with rolled fenders should be enough.

Those fenders look pulled to me. I'm not giving you a hard time, I just want to make sure you don't have unrealistic expectations (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile2.gif)

Because I thought pulling was just part of rolling fenders. lol And I fully appreciate your help bruh don't worry about it! You have more experience than me, so any tips are welcome. I'm new to this stuff. |

Nah, its different.
Here is a beautiful work of art I put together to explain it to you: (IMG:http://i64.tinypic.com/2dmecfs.png) So, from the factory, inside your fender there is a little lip that sticks in. I'm assuming its there to give a little more structural rigidity or something? but pretty much all cars have them for some reason. Rolling simply tucks this lip up so that your tire can come closer to the fender, As my diagram shows, even with it rolled, your tires still don't look like they would fit under your fender. Fender pulling on the other hand, not only do they roll that part flat against the back of the fender, but they also pull the entire fender out. My pic might be a bit exaggerated but you get the idea. |

should've pixeled that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toung.gif)
so basically step 1 would be rolling the fender, and if that isn't enough, i roll the tab even further so it's all the way up against the fender? and how do i pull it? just use more pressure with the fender roller? this kind of stuff is way more accessible in the states. there isn't any shop close to me that can do it for a normal price. Spending 250€ to roll/pull my fenders isn't really what I wanna do lol |

You need to stretch more material out of what has already been formed, so I figure it is much more work/difficult to pull than roll up a flange (to at least do it nicely)
You can probably get a bit of a pulled lip going with the roller, but i don't think it will be anything spectacular |

My first picture is what it looks like stock, they always push the flange completely flush when rolling it.
Pulling them does involve more work like you and faran said. You are much more likely to mess up your paint because you are basically bending the metal and the paint can crack. Usually they heat up your paint while so that doesn't happen. |

I guess I'll stick to rolling, because I can do that myself (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toung.gif) Rep that mexipoke man. I'm not legendary enough to do that lel (IMG:style_emoticons/default/xd.gif) Great car Dan, I love those. If my height wasnt frankstein size I'd like to own one of those. Right now I'd probably run with the top off cause my forehead would be on the roofline lmao. I kinda dig the poke tho. Thanks bro! I'm actually a little bit too long for it, but that's okay. It's comfy enough for what it is. The poke is cool, but it will be even cooler when i roll the fenders, lower it, and get a new front lip + side skirts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toothygrin.gif) Maybe also cut the rear bumper and get a ducktail... hmm (IMG:https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/e35/17268150_128167177713656_6846618486223929344_n.jpg) We stickered the cars for, as some of you guys have heard, Kurumai! Time to start promoting it. |

you could do that fender cut thats becoming popular now.
(IMG:http://scene-media.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/hec2158a.jpg) (IMG:http://noriyaro.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/garage_sunrise_005.jpg) (IMG:http://www.rs-watanabe.co.jp/images/sonota/hibino05-2.jpg) or just do your own thing and ignore all of the suggestions because most people don't have a clue what some of their suggestions cost or take (IMG:style_emoticons/default/xd.gif) |
