Metal , fiberglass , polyurethane , carbon fiber. They are made of different materials.

Okay, I thought that they were forcing the metal with a fender roller, I was trying to find a taro rial but no luck.

Some simple mild flares are done using the original panels . Only not as simple as using a roller. Involves cutting and welding. Something like this picture .



I there is a picture some where of a fc that uses this technique.

some people do use a guard roller with the right amount of heat to flare it but it depends on the shape of the 1/4 on how well it works.

Can you get the affect of the rear quarter in the pic I posted with a fender roller.

Also super curious if that is achievable from a simple fender roller...I would assume you would need to cut the inner lip to pull that far?

Always liked d33san's fender job, appears to be stock metal..





Just got lost in his photobucket again...fuhhhh

I looked on you tube on pulling fenders and nothing came up, what is the process of pulling quarters.BTW the red car with quarters turned out to be cut and welded.
Thanks
