Got your fenders flared??

Hey guys, i'm asking for a pic request. I needed to see some more pics of flared fenders that you have done by yourselfs or professionally. I just bought some new wheels and is going staggered!! Looking for a Vert pic of its rear fenders flared, if not any FC is fine. Just wanted to see how its gonna look on my car.

Searched this earlier but mainly poor threads that went down the drain and a bunch of wide body fender threads.

thanks in adavance!

get a bat and a heat gun and roll it slowly lil by lil. Drifter style ! another technique is youset your car ona incline, and have afriend place a bat in the fender and you let the car roll back and itwill self roll the fenders, and clutch off to go up the hill while ur friends rolls teh fender slowly..

I've seen people do this. A friend of mine did it to his S13 before Auto-X cause his tires were rubbing. It does work, but it is the most ghetto-est thing I've seen done to a car.

that vert has widebody fenders and rear quarters. I think the OP looking for something like this. Wish i could do this to mine, but previous owner grinded the inner lip to clear the wheels.
BTW, this F%^&ing car is beautiful.

I doubt he did that with a bat. You're best bet would be to go rent a fender roller or see if someone local can lend you one.

I will prolly wont use a bat to do my fender flares because this is my first time doing this, i was looking into getting a fender roller. Is there anything else than Eastwood. are there any other cheaper brand fender rollers that i can buy???

I use the eastwood roller before, kind of a PITA. I took it off and used a bat. I rolled my fenders though not flare. I had better control with the bat than the roller. My 0.02.
