Default Fender pulling

For those who have done it, what method did you use, and about how much of a pull did you get?

I am looking to get more pull in the front so I can drop my car more and tuck the front tires a bit.... but at teh same time I want this to be reasonable to drive (I'm sure those are 2 competing thoughts).... I'm just looking to see what all the guys have done who are riding daily with their cars dumped.

Thought it was called fender rolling...and you have frames pulled, not fender. Meh.

Get yourself one of these and load up on DIY technique on heating the fender area :

If you check around you can find someone that rents these out. Or you can find someone that will do it for a minimal fee. Have to make sure and heat the paint or else it will start to crack.

fender rolling is different that fender pulling. You're just trying to get the fender or quarter panel inside lip flat. Pulling...you actually pull the body out. Then there is flaring as well.

People that have pulled their fenders on the IS...Does it change the look of the fenders "viewing from different angles" on the outside? When I had one of my S2K's done, you could tell from the outside that the lines did not flow the way Honda mant for them to flow. No one really noticed, but I did. They also were pulled very very little. Compared to most of the S2K pulls.

I had my fenders pulled in the rear to fit the 265/30, I had a friend of mine do it, he used a fender roller.

You got a pulling effect as a by-product when using rolling machine.
