I think you will be fine, but it's hard to tell from that angle. You have any wheel fitment shots, it might be easier to tell from that view. If i were you i'd shave it.

^^^Flatten them more. If you ever decide to add spacers or get wheels with lower offset you might have to roll them more.

Soon, I want to

1. Add a 5mm and 10mm spacer sometime soon

2. Drop it another 1/2 - 1 inch or so

Hopefully I will end of having this stance:





Whatever it is, I don't want to do it after the repaint for obvious reasons

Keep up the great work Jerry. I would recommend to rolled as flat as you can in all your fenders now since you repainting the car. Pulled the rear a little like I did if you want. I know you might not needed it now but maybe down the road you might change wheels setup and it will give you less headaches. It's easy to flush your current wheels out with some spacers. That's my opinion. Call me if you need any help.

Yea, I actually had that Vertex lip but I ended up selling it.

There was one slammed black SC with an AC kit modified with LS460 style exhaust that had it and I wasn't feeling it in the picture. Maybe its just me that disliked that car.

i wasent a fan of the AC kit because of the price and that fact that it closely resembled the 97+ oem style and a slight similar quality to a dodge. BUT this kit is prob more affordable and I can modd it to my likeing and not feel like I am commiting a crime by hacking a real blah JDM blah blah part. Looks like I might jump on the Shine wagon as well A+

I consulted a few people about the roll job and fitment.

My buddy who did the roll job said that its the best that he would do without flaring out the fenders.

I drove all the way out to Shine Auto Project today to talk to Ken and their in house body shop guy Makito and they reaffirmed that the fender roll with an Eastwood is pretty much as good as it gets without flaring. To get it any flatter like an edge of a soup can, I will have to use a hammer and dolly, which requires alot of time and more body work in the end, or just cut it.

Most importantly, it should clear a 10mm spacer in the front and rear after a <1 inch drop.

Anyhow, if anyone is interested in the kit, you are going to have to make a deposit now because the Australian deal has yet to be finalized. Once it is finalized, it will be a 2-3 month wait since they are doing a group buy of 15 or 16 kits.

As of right now, I am really anxious to take it in as soon as we resolve issues with the family beater. Its a 1993 Camry V6 and the cooling system with the hydraulic fans are a nightmare.
