  • Need to roll my fender lips.. any pointer I should be aware of?

    I have no choice but to roll my fender lips to avoid tire rub... I found a really good howto on it and my mechanic even gave me some good instructions using the baseball method..

    Are there any specific pointers I should remember? I want to do it right.

    Thanks

    You mean basball BAT method?? I have seen it done, all I can say is go slow and make ure that the bad doesnt slide to the skinnier part and make the bend off-shaped. Make some marks on the bat where you want it to slide on and make sure the fender lip is between the marks the whole time and you should come out with a perfectly rolled fender. Good luck

      Hello!!!!!!!!!!!! Your fender is not made out of steel. It will not roll!!!!!!!!! It is a plastic type compound.
