Talking Fender Rolling Tool....I HAVE ONE!!

I have an actual fender rolling tool to roll the lips on any car. For those Club Lexus members who would like to use it, I'd be up for sending it to you for a small donation of $50 towards my purchase of said tool along with $20 for shipping of the tool and associated other tools that are needed to do the job. I'll also need a deposit on the equipment before I send it out.

Increase tire/fender clearance, flare fenders and/or repair wheel arch collision damage with this pro grade forming tool. Bolts directly to hub flange. Elongated holes in adapter plate fit all popular 4 and 5 bolt hubs, and are held in place with the included dished washers and vehicles lug nuts. Forming arm adjusts from 14" to 22 3/4" Delrin ® ball bearing forming roller is tough enough to form the fender without damaging the paint.

PM me if you would like to schedule a week in the upcoming months to use it. I'll also bind up some instructions on how to use it properly so as to not damage your paint. Detailed instructions will come with the tools.

What a generous offer to the CL members, but I'd be afraid I wouldn't get it back. Sounds risky.

though!

Well, I plan on covering my a** (CYA) with a nice hefty credit card deposit before I ship it out.

As fun as it sounds, I'll pass and do it the way it's supposed to be done. Besides, you're driving a Lexus man, not a Civic, act like it would ya. lol

Well, you don't need to roll your fenders because you weren't trying to fit tires and wheels made for a Supra TT under your SC.

Thanks for the kudos on being trustworthy and robbing you all in the same sentence. Somehow, I'd think that getting a nearly new set of tires and wheels for 1/2 price hardly constitutes 'robbing'. Hell, look at the smile on your face in the attached pic....you hardly look like someone just had a gun to your head. Hell, all I can see is teeth!

I had to roll my fenders because my new NZO Halos are +38mm, not +43mm like my Blitz wheels. But since I'm many months out from getting my Blitz replacement wheel, I had to do something to get the bastards to fit.

BTW...are you taking care of my SC300 that I'll be buying next year to do the 2JZ-GTE TT conversion on?
