Default Was using the fender roller today.. wheels fit now :)

Experience was quite fun.. semi-destroying my car and all..

How did it go?
Well, the fronts have some warping sadly.. I'll bring it to the body shop to hopefully get that arranged Is there any way I can fix that myself?

The rears were peeling like crazy, I just sprayed a couple layers of primer on there temporarily. Conclusion, the wheels fit now

Will try to get better pictures tomorrow but here are some night shots with my phone and a flashlight

Just borrowed a friends fender roller and plan to roll mine tomorrow afternoon.

Im definately interested in pics as well (good & bad) to see your results.

Fellow SC owner told me NOT to use the roller on the front fenders. He said it causes warping. I might just do the old body hammer trick up front, and roll the rears flat.

I warped my fronts too. Driver side is pretty bleh, but had a friend do the passenger and his came out better. Get some close up pics of your handywork.
