Is the s4 single paneled in the rear?
The main reason I want rear over fenders is because I want to go wider and the rear even with being flared out doesn't match the front fenders which from the factory already look like wide fenders. The back is just too flat, and being a rwd car it looks retarded imo. All I can say is if Grips s4 was doubled paneled then he did a great job, but the fact that he re-painted both panels probably made things go a bit easier since he wasn't concerned with destroying the paint from cracking.
Oh it can be done. it just requires MAN force. If you think that you can't bend two layers of sheet metal by hand you need to hit the gym

And its NOT ghetto to roll or flare iwth a baseball bat. Or a pry bar, or a hammer and dolly. Its only ghetto if you go crackign at the thing like arnold palmer.

I *DO NOT* use an eastwood fender roller at the shop, and I can do everything that you have seen in this thread with reagrds to flaring using only a hammer, dolly, and spoon. Metal fab is something that no one knows about anymore because most the people who mod their cars just fiberglass and glue **** onto other ****. There's no elegant metal fab anymore

That was done with a rather fat socket wrapped in tape on a torque wrench.....and a hammer.

Ghetto? Yes. Do i care to argue if it's ghetto or not? No. You guys go ahead and give eachother headaches..... I'll just enjoy life and my car.



Waiting for warm weather so i can finish her up.

As the car does look good, that's where it stops. Not taking anything away from his car, but there are far better cars to inspired by to be honest.

LOL I never said anything bad about the car nor have I ever **** on anyone elses car. I'm just not one to ride the nuts of another man's car. So with all respects take your own advice & STFU. BTW the owner of the car you for some reason feel the need to defend for no reason was the one who was the one judging everyones car not me.

like 400hp cars with no a/c or power steering and look tasteless? cuz theres alot in the fc community.

I think we can enjoy cosmetic appearance a little bit, i mean we are not killing ourselves with high horsepower cars on the street
