Screw that. Get a louisville slugger ( wooden... ) and just roll it against the tire and fender. Change the angle of the bat if you need to. Thats how I rolled mine and thats how all my friends have done it too. Just be gentle with it and move little bits at a time. Works awesome.

1) Don't lower that car too much.
The rears get all fucked up anyways if you drop the car that low.
2) Most FC's running 225's is more than enough rubber to handle the car.
Stop buying cheap *** tires.

1) 225 is a lot wider than stock so i'll have even morescraping problems., although that is the size i want to buy when i get new wheels.
2) i already know how to roll fenders, the point of this thread was to see if they looked good on an fc.

If you know how to roll a fender, you should know that they look the exact same unless you compare two side by side...

Maybe its because theyre a body shop and make a lot more money than you and I? They get paid to do this stuff. If they were using bats, you think people would go to them?
Try thinking next time.
And please tell me how using a bat is gonna mess it up. It does the same thing that tool that you linked does. It cant mess up unless your a complete moron and go in there jacking your fender to hell and back.
A ton of people do it with a bat and dont have any problems. But if getting ripped off for a tool that does the exact same thing makes you sleep better at night, go right ahead.

Yep. Thats me. The *******
Sorry. I just dont see the point of buying some expensive tool that has one sole application when I can do the same thing with stuff laying around the house. And no, my fender dont look like **** but thanks for playing.

Check my red FC in the above link. It has flared quarter panels and pulled fenders.
