need help with rolling rear fender lips
i tried a method someone emailed me about useing a baseball bat and rolling them but that didnt work.tried make about 4 cuts in them to give relief and then hit with hammer,that didnt work so well now i have small waves on the outside of my fender and lips are still not completely rolled under.i want to know if theres another way to do it without the fenders looking like crap on the outside.ive only done one side so far,id like to do as little damage as possible.also,could i just cut them off?

i read on corral that there is a special tool you can purchase for like $60 that supposedly makes it easier.........
and also that you should get a heat gun and heat the paint to prevent it from cracking/chipping......
but i have never done or seen done the process personally....... hope that info helps ya though.......

What kind of bat did you use?If it was a wooden one have someone sit on the rear and slowly roll the car in neutral.Do it back and forth slowly and they will roll.

If you use a wood bat it won't crack the paint,how big are your tires?And you only need to roll the inner lip.

Sounds like it would be cheaper to have a professional do it if you are doing damage.....

Do you own a Torch Red FRC and tremble every time you drive under I75 on Hwy 60 and look in your rearview mirror? If so you are suffering from what is known as Cobraphobia.

What wheels are you using? I run 275/40/17 now with no problems. All you need is the right offset.
