i got my fenders rolled from EF1 motorsports in long beach last friday... today my friend noticed that aside from rolling the fender they also i guess applied to much pressure... now about 1 inch of the fender <near the rear where the rear bumper meets the fender> flares out a little bit.. you cant tell at first but if you look carefully it doesnt look flush anymore now i dont know if i should call ef1 and tell them to fix it, if they can even fix it at all without damaging the outside paint what should i do? could a body shop easily heat up the body and push it back in slightly? if so is it around the oc area? or should i just leave it the way it is.. like i said its hard to notice.. its on both sides i also have some paint chip but i was expecting that anyone know any products i can apply on that area so that it doesnt create rust? sorry for the long thread..

edit - im leaving on a business trip today afternoon and wont be back for about 3-5 days.. i'll be checking the forums as soon as my flight lands

bump for advice?

 

Take it back and have them fix it.

Did they cut and roll, or just roll?

 

just roll... im afraid to take it back because he might damage it more when he pushes it back in :[ i'll give them a call and see what he says anyway

 

That's a roll and a pull, the same I have on the rear of my SC. Personally, I like the look but not everyone agrees. My 12 year old paint didn't survive the pull but i'm planning on a color change anyways. I'm in Long Beach also if you want to see my rolled/pulled fenders in person.





They can't really "fix" it unless it's sanded, cut, and shaped/molded into place. The reason being, the metal is actually stretched. Another option, that i'm considering, is to mold the "lip" into the body so it appears flush and yet, you have gained a good amount of wheel clearance. (which I need, I have 18x11J +19 in the rear)

 

did you get your fenders rolled at ef1? since you are from long beach and all.. well i decided to live with it.. its starting to grow on me.. my only concern is if i go back to my stock wheels would it still look right? anyway about a inch of my paint got chipped very lightly is there a way i can make sure that it doesnt rust and spread? any product i can apply? its on the underside where you cant see but i just wanna make sure it doesnt make its way out :P

 

Yeah that's a pretty ugly pull on the SC, sorry.
