Pulled and Rolled fenders thread

[1991ls13]

well i`ve been searching alot on this and get mixed opinions about how to and what to do etc.there is the fender roller you can rent and or use a bat and heat gun with both. well most of the time when i come across these threads its this is better, ya`da ya`da, but theres no pics of their car when they are done.

Post pics or your car with the fenders rolled and pulled and state what you did and how.Pics are important

Note: on youtube there are a couple videos but there worthless cause most are dumb youngn`s not really doing it or the video just suck. and another with the famous pink s14 but unless you speak japanese your f`ed.

Lets go:

heat the lip/fender area with a torchthen either hit it with a hammer or use a baseball bat...start at the bottom and slowly move the car forward or back depending on whee you started, have the bat handle laying on your tire and it will roll and slightly pull (not a legit pull) your fender lip out.thats how i did mine.the cali folks tend to use an actual roll/pull device...if you like spending money on s*** buy one from parts shop max.you dont really need photos as im sure youve seen a million examples.

yes, i have seen a few pics but there only only a few that have and its with a roller, but not with the bat method or hammer, so please as the post said, post the pics of yours. since im really tryin to see the out come of the bat method.

I rented one for $20 with a $180 deposit. Rolled and pulled all four corners in an afternoon with my mom's hair blow dryer. Had paint crack on one corner because we didn't heat it up enough, and I didn't do a perfect job on my front driver fender. If I could do it again I could do it perfect. I had my bro helping me.

So if you do it yourself, devote atleast 30-45min to each wheel and make sure you get all the crap out of the fender lip like rocks and stuff.

Bottom line: Rent a roller and DIY. May not be easier but it's better looking.

Oh and I managed a 1 1/2" pull with no fender buckle. Good luck!

well the cheapest pleace i could find was 100 with shipping so thats dumb, so i decided to go blow dryer and bat method.besides my front driver side fender(cause its damaged a lil) so i didnt even do that side but it worked pretty good, ill have to get some pics up later but the backs are pretty nice and the front pass dise is pretty good also. ill have to look at it a little bit more to make it perfect but its way better then spending 100 buck JUST to rent one!!
