is it hard? Maybe someone have pics or videos? And should i after rolling paint my fenders?

It's not too hard. Just takes patience. Tape fenders, heat fenders, roll tiny bit at a time. Look on eastwood website. Some basic videos on there. Heat is most important part to keep paint from chipping or cracking.

Mine are rolled and slightly pulled. I'm on 305 michelins in the back and only rub on really harsh dips. And I'm not rubbing On fender, my tire bottoms out on one of the bolts inside wheel well.

305? Nice. What is your wheel specs?

But yes, heat is the most important, dont melt your paint holding the heat gun too close. Its easiest to heat, roll small amount, heat, roll again, tho it takes time...

If you dont have the tool, baseball bat, newspaper, etc works... youtube it. 240sx guys are crazy but some can pull it off perfectly.

305 it's really good. If it's possible, give please a link on it)

I recommend paying someone to do it. It takes skill and experience to do it right. Just the right amount of heat and rolling alil bit at a time.

This is the correct tool(say no to baseball bats, ect)

DIM

realy good thing)) how much does it cost?

mikefate

There's a company on amazon that sells a red version of the Eastwood fender roller. It's $179 shipped. Over $100 cheaper and it's identical. Sears has heat guns for $50-60

/\ yup. There's even places that rent the kit out(even online)

I've seen it done a bunch of times but I still rather pay 40-60 bux a fender to have it done by a pro. Its easy to crack your paint and to mess up.

If you still plan to do it yourself, props and let us know how it went.

Remember you might/will have to loosen the inside black liner on the fender or even cut/trim out some areas.

DIM

thanks a lot))

It all depends how much tire you need to stuff in the wheel well. Some people can get away with grinding some of the metal off. Mine are rolled flat on side with about 1/4" pull

I couldn't get the edge to roll right without having to put enough pressure on the fender and slightly deform it, so I went with the grinding option and I'm 100% satisfied with the results! (did it myself).

The F is tougher than most cars. There's a welded seem on the lip in the fender well. When rolled the rubber silicone actually compresses and comes off. I used some pick up truck bed sealant inside in case any metal was exposed from the roller wheel. The bolt for rear bumper inside fender is tricky

Used a fender roller on mine and it turned out perfect. Its rolled flat with a tiny pull. Fenders still look perfect and the paint still looks perfect. I'm running 20x11 rears with 295s...

I definitely wouldnt just go and do this without any experience. I had my s2k fenders pulled and rolled and really, without the right tools, dont even attempt it. calitrisc has the exact tool and if you do decide to do this, make sure you use the heat gun properly (dont hold too close or you will melt the paint) and dont pull too far out because it will crack the paint...just do it slowly and youll be ok.
