Flaring fenders

[weshole]

They are already semi flared. So trying anything short of installing flares will totally ruin the car and not to mention look like ass. Just sell it to me and I'll take care of the problem.

Yes, but I'm not telling you how.

Nor do I know how.

Take it to a body shop and see if they can roll them for you. You risk screwing up the paint by rolling them yourself.

Okay, just so everyone knows, these fenders are far from mint. They both have previous damage and have been bondo'ed to some degree and been resprayed. I really wouldn't care if I had to respray both fenders with a couple coats of rattle can white.

wow......GHETTO.... seriously though go get some REAL coilovers with the proper spring rates/ dampening.... worth every penny i know from experience i hate cheap suspension.

Heard of people taking a pole type cylinder thingy and putting up against the tire and rolling the car forward. Rinse and repeat for desired effect all around and or severe damage.

baseball bat....that is all I will say and I am not responsible for any unwanted damage.

^^ Haha ^^ Thx I didn't want to say it

A ot of body shops will heat and roll fenders with a device that is basically a bar with a roller on one end and a piece to fit directly onto your axle on the other. Just go to a body shop and tell them what you want to do. they'll tell you what they can do, then you compramise/cry.

Thats good advise it is possible to do on your own but trust me the results are never what you want. Talk to andre down at intense collision i think they do a lot of custom work as he has a 55 GMC pick up and my drivers are always talking about some sweet old muscle cars he has in the shop. I tried the baseball bat thing on a 88 TC drift car and it was a mess cost my boss about $3000 to get it looking right again.

So either I spend $1000+ doing this "right" or I get called ghetto. Thanks.

[KA-T_240]

flaring/pulling fenders is far from ghetto. im not going to get started on ghetto, there have been some vary ghetto things i have scene on peoples cars and that is not one off them as long as its done right

[Erik]

I know, so how come the only answers seem to be:

1. Buy the widebody kit $$$$
2. Get all new suspension $$$$
3. Go to a shop and flare them. $$
4. Comedy baseball bat option :rolleyes:

And for some reason if I do 3 or 4 I'm not doing it right

[Joel]

balla rim need balla suspension... its the truth!

[KA-T_240]

your problem looks like it needs either some serious fender flaring and i mean serious or pulling the fenders which both should be done by people that have done it before

The baseball bat option wasn't supposed to be funny. It's the "proper" way to do it if you are doing it in your garage.

[KA-T_240]

if you make a trip to the cities i can get you in contact with some people that would be able to do it and they are supposedly pretty resonable and they have done it to a bunch off cars

[weshole]

Hey Eric, I'm bringin my car into the bodyshop next week to get redone. you want my fenders? They are free.
