Default instead of rolling fenders...

i got my rear fenders rolled at the shop but they said its a waste of money to do it to the front with their fender roller gadget cause its not gonna bring it out much...instead of rolling it out, is it a bad idea to hammer my front fenders outward by putting a cloth over where ima hit the fender?? cause i really wanna bring my front fenders out more and fix some dents at the same time...

what car is this? why are you rolling the fender? are your wheels actually hitting it?
doing all this for looks? if so, go ahead and bang the fenders.

do you think you won't create more dents by hitting your fender w/ a mallet??

a buddy of mine actually did the hammer trick to roll his fenders on his 240, it came out fine you just gotta try not to whack the fender too hard

i tried the bat for my fronts, but its leaving some ugly marks on the tip of the fender and it looks like its messing up my alignment of my tires cause its pushing the heck out of the tires instead of my fenders...

well i used a fender rolling tool and if you use a heat gun it'll come out a lot farther.

my rims are +25 offset and 7.5 width. the rims are flush with the fenders.


yknow how theres that little flat section around the wheel wells? i dont have that anymore and i think it looks a lot better

cilvia and marshun, props for buying correct size wheels for your car. EVERYONE needs to realize that wheels need to be flush with cars. too many sunken-ship looking cars on the roads
