oh dang!

 

i feel like eurodre when i post pics like that

 

Yeah. I dont wanna roll the fenders or have negative camber so I guess it'll do

 

if you dont want to roll your fenders you're pretty much stuck at +15, you will need you roll your fenders for a flush look. No way around it!!!

 

hes right. im running the same widths with +5 offset all around and had to roll mine pretty flat

 

Noob question but how exactly or what exactly must you do to roll a fender? Im afraid to do it cause I heard you can crack your paint.

 

renting a fender roller and heat gun is the only way i would reccomend. some have used wooden bats and other backyard tricks.

 

send shane a airplance ticket and a place to stay. he does fender rolls.

 

Thats whatt I thought was needed. I have a friend who said he could do it with a bat and hammer

 

Why you sellin your G LightsOut?

 

There's always a chance of paint cracking, there really is no way around it, some cars crack some don't. All you can really do is take the proper precautions to limit the chance of it happening. The correct way woul dbe to have someone do it with a roller while using a head gun. In the even paint does happen to chip it will 99% of the time only be cracking on the inside of the fender lip so you will not see it from the outside. also you can simply pick up some touch up paint and brush it over the cracked area's if that does happen!

I have rolled over 100 cars and none have ever cracked on the outside. I would say about 15-20% of cars will crack, mainly cause alot of people either don't take care of their car, as well as have it sit in the sun making the paint more brittle, or the car is just old in which case will cause the paint to be more brittle.

 

3 out of my 4 fenders cracked really bad. but like shane said, it was only under on the backside of the fender lip. it wasnt noticeable unless youre under looking for it. i did exactly that, and brushed some touch up paint on and then used the heat gun on those areas to bring the flaking paint up to stick to the touch up paint and then did one more coat over that. looks fine and shouldnt rust out

 

Thanks for the info fellas. Didnt realize all that trouble and work was needed to accomplish the aggressive stance I was going for. I think i'll stay with my +15

 

just over a year ago, I was single living the LIFE! then BAMB! wifey and kid...what!!!


coupe is good and all, but becoming a hassle kind of with the car seat and wifey. I'll be upgrading to a 07/08 Sedan S 6mt soon.

 

its really not much trouble. it took all of about 2 hours to do all 4 fenders. cost me $75 and a bottle of touch up
