I heard you can roll your front fenders with a bat. alot of 240 guys tell me that but i dont know if i should.

Very possible .. but I wouldn't want to see (you) do it ... maybe ask someone who knows how .. or take it to someone ..

patience is the key .. No rushing

That's what I did on my GS. It was only a very mild roll though so no need to have an expert do it. You really have to be careful and take your time because you could chip off paint by flexing the metal too hard. You could have a shop do it but many of them have a disclaimer stating that they are not liable if the paint should chip, etc. during the rolling.

It can be done, but you should have a lowered car to try it. I did it on my Grandma's Camry. I put some pretty little Lexus take-off's on her car, but the fenders needed to be rolled. It did not work out to well. I found out later that the gap between the wheel and the car needed to be a little smaller for it to work properly.

If you don't know what you're doing, don't do it. Trust me. You'll regret it if you mess up.

forsure, i was thinking about hammering that sucker back too how do you guys think about that? or where can i rent a roller? is it hard to roll? i have a mild rub when i take people in the car for my fronts when i turn. =( my tires are taking the hit for me everytime =(

Fronts are already kind of rolled stock. Just hammer where it rubs. You should be fine.

I have seen alot of fender rolling done correctly and it is pretty nice.So many places have machines that bolt to your hub and roll the fender correctly.Ive never had it done but I dont think its too expensive.

My brother rolled my fenders on my bimma, no problems. I will probably roll the gs400 fenders once i get some new shoes

with what bro? hammer, professional roller, bat. etc.

honestly u can roll it with just about anything, Bat's, Pipes of differnt diam, but i think a wooden bat is the best. Paitiance is the only key to having it done nicely, either you spend alot of time rollin it back and forth till u get it where u want, or if u choose to go with a shop, make sure they are very paitiance people cause dents, chips and kinks happend if u or they try to pull it out to much all at once.

fender roller can damage car as well best thing is to shave or relief cut the fronts and then roll or bend upwards to leave a clean edge

If you dont know what your doing with it, dont experiment on your lexus. I actually had someone do mine that claimed that they had rolled hundreds of fenders, but he jacked it all up. I kinda won my court case, but thats another story.

There is a place in San Diego called Auto Fashion I think, try them as they are supposed to be great!

yeah man, dont do it unless you have someone there to guide you or somethin..

man, using a bat brings me back to my 1980 corolla days.. rolling fenders so my 15" enkei 92's (gold face polished lip) would tuck.. and that was in the late 80's!
