Hi! I have a 99 Honda accord V6, 4 dr- and I would like to know if anyone knows how to roll the fenders. I live in the Portland, OR area and would like my fenders rolled so I can get bigger rims w/out it rubbing, and my car is lowered as well. So, if you are experienced at this or have done it b4, please get at me!

Thanks!

 

I haven't done it myself but I've read about a bunch of people who have actually done this. Have you searched the net at all on this? I'll assume you have...

The baseball bat method seems to be the least effective, and most likely the most ghetto. I would steer clear of that.

You can rent an actual "Fender roller" of the net I think there's a site that has em for a reasonable price. It's a device that bolts onto the wheel hub, then theres an arm that apply pressure to the inside of the wheel well. You roll is back and forth, and it little by little flattens out that rear lip.

The third method, which I feel isn't widely known, is the cut and bend method. You take something like a dremmel with a cut off wheel and make several cuts in that fender lip to make "tabs" if you will. Then you just bend each one of those tabs back to flatten it out.

The last method, which Im thinking about doing myself, is just to cut that **** off with a dremmel. I'm convinced that it doesn't serve a structural purpose on the car, nor do I expect to be applying a ton of pressure to the fender um ever? So I might do this one.

one major concern about doing any of these methods is that the paint might chip or crack in the process. The rent a roller website also comes with a heat gun so you can heat up the paint and bend it without it cracking.

Good luck I guess....

 

THANKS FOR YOUR ADVISE AND SUGGESTIONS!
