I remember a while back when I first joined I saw a few things on flaring your fenders by rolling it with a baseball bat. Any pics or walkthroughs on how to do this?

 

dont do it, thats cheap and ghetto, looks like ****

 

Ive done it before and the results are just as good as using a fender roller. Its much faster this way too. Go to youtube.com and search for fender rolling. Theres plenty of videos there.

 

yeap +1 wan, I also have done this method. Works phenomal, just do it gradually and you will be fine. I'll take pics if i have a chance.
works just as good as a fender roller if you are patient.
use a heat gun if you dont want paint cracking, i didn't even bother as I have some body work to do this winter anyways.

 

People like you make this forum suck!!!!!!

This is nothing but BAT!!

 

Wood or alu bat? hehe

 

Aluminum....its lighter!

 

******* amateur.

20mm roll and pull to fit a 17x10 +18 wheel.

 

My first attempt at fender-rolling. Aluminum baseball bat wrapped in electrical tape so that it could "grip" against the tire and rotate, even with a lot of pressure coming down on it from the fender being rolled.

 

how do you use the bat? do you squish the bat between the tire and fender then roll the car foward and backwards? sorry if i sound dumb

 

look at that ****, alot of them look like there pulled MORE than need be, and that makes it look like ****

 

Dude STFU you dont know what you're talking about. I'm guessing your conclusions came from your years of experience.

I wouldn't even be talking coming from a person with a bullshit ricer drop. Accomplish something and we'll talk.

I have never gotten any negative feedback from anyone about my rear fenders. Instead I get people asking how I did it.

I know you don't know something everyone else doesn't.

 

Instead of wasting your time on useless bickering,how about a small how-to primer on correct fender rolling/pulling using a bat so some poor sole doesn't fu*k up their quarter panal ?

 

yessir thats me with bull **** RICER DROP hahaha, i love it, how bout some pics of your **** BEFORE you did body work to correct that ****, yours looks good now, but before the body work???

 

Sure why not a pic of before.... I had nothing to hide.

17 year old paint.

 

I'm telling you....it takes TIME. Everyone that asks me..I tell them, the more time you take, the better results you will see.

You might have gotten the wrong impression of this method because of the shotty results you have seen. I have seen messed up fenders even from the Eastwood fender roller.

Half of the people doing this method have nothing to go by..trial and error is what they get. I have seen people do it before...just like some people mention. This is a gradual method..AKA it takes time.

 

look how high your car is, doesnt need a ROLL, or a PULL, my car bieng as low as it is, was done with a body dolly, and only slightly rubs, when taking turns fast enough, what is so ricer about mine? suspenion is fine now, has enough travel for what i need, is your suspension so soft that you need all that space because of SAG?? not mine, so i dunno, to each his own

 

Well if you took observation between the pictures of now and then. Im running two different size and offset rear wheels.

I run a 17x10 +12 NOW..with 275/40 tire. With the fender pulled I dont rub. even lowered down

 

It's one of the the best looking rolled fenders I've seen!

 

^ i second that. it is one amazing car.

im lookin at rollin my fenders as soon as the new suspension gets installed and the new wheels get tires.

 

its kind of self explanatory

step #1. heat the fender so its hot but not burning to the touch
step #2. grab something round of the appropriate diameter and jam it between the wheel and the fender
step #3. move the car slowly and guide the tool. it should roll with the car.

for a more aggressive roll/pull, step up to something bigger.
the end

this video includes both the hammer the **** out of it method, and the roll it with a pipe/bat method

and people, please don't pull your fender just for the hell of it. a pulled fender on a car that doesn't need it screams 'i don't know wtf i am doing. i am a dumb ricer. please punch me in the face.' it's like widebody on a car with wheels that don't even fill the stock fenders.

it took me about 15 minutes to roll all four corners. hammer method on the front fenders, pipe on the rear. might be more complex for a flared pull

 

What BULLSHIT is this?

You're in San Jose? Drop the attitude and post pictures of your so-called car. Still rubbing after being done on a body dolly? Give me a break. If you're in San Jose, then meet up with me and we'll see if you can still talk ****.

Oh, and here's a pic of my car for you so you can't whine some more. Roll and pull front and rear fenders. 17x9 +22 RPF1s front and 17x10 +18 RPF1s.

 

someone get rid of driftwerks, this guy is an idiot. goddamn!
and Jaiyurai, i just fell in love with your car, my friend in pitsburgh has a white fc, gp sport kit, perhaps you know him, jp is his name.
anywho, i love your car. just plain badass, lovin the enkei RPF-1's

peace
