So, that whole fender rolling/pulling process. Is that something a novice should try?

Here are a couple pics of mine after being painted. Oh, and I *am* aware of the slight gap in black where the door meets the body, I turned her back into the body shop to sort that out (it was my fault, I initially told them not too because I thought they were suggesting an entire strip of black just under the window to stretch the length of the door...

Mind that they were taken with my cell phone... I'll probably post a full "build" thread for the paint process once I get the time.

Might I suggest a photography forum?

To stay on topic, here is an old photo courtesy of Dan (before he had his fancy new camera) of my two girls sleeping along side Ms Clunkers...

It's honestly not that difficult. Just make sure to heat up the paint to avoid cracking and take your time. Not something to rush.

We're talking about making the fender flares right? Not simply rolling the fender?

I guess all u have to do is rolling longer in order to push it further. Actually, I don't have a clue bout how my bodyshop pulled the metal, but they did an amazing job

Yeah, pulling and rolling are a little different. Rolling isn't too bad, but pulling takes a bit more skill or else it ends up looking really bad. I saw some pretty nasty results at the HellaFlush show we had in Honolulu a few months back. It definitely looked "home-made."

So, what's the widest tire you can go with with a rolled fender like yours?

Don't forget that his fenders are actually pulled too. That's why they are flared out. If you went to a body shop and just said roll my fenders, you will not get that.

Sephiroth- your car looks awesome.
