Eastwood Fender Finisher

[AAV240sx]

I'm in need of rolling my fenders because of a new wheel/tire setup and in my search for options I stumbled upon the eastwood fender finisher.

Just wondering if anybody has any opinions on this? I think it's a new product or something. It seems like it'd be a lot better than using a fender roller if all you need is the inner lip taken care of and not really made for flaring.

Here's a video of it action. Sadly, it doesn't give you a good closeup shot of the lip being folded. Youtube

Rolling looks safer that that thing.

The eastwood fender roller works great. It is a much more controlled method to prevent the paint from splitting. Plus, once you have one, you can lend it to others for some recoup on the expense.

or you could go with the JDM tyte version... cheaper too. http://www.gtfactory.jp/cms/page.php?10 (fixed my link btw ^^)

Eh, I guess I'll just play it safe and get an actual fender roller.

Is that what you have?

[S133P3R]

whoawhoawhoai didnt say all that.so, let me know how that works out for you!

[AAV240sx]

Oh, sorry. I assumed you have one from them or have used one of theirs before, seeing as how you're pretty adamant about me getting it.

If you want one I have one I ordered and never got around to use it. Its still in box tied up.

What would you do about wheel wells after doin a roll/pull? Wouldn't this leave no place to screw them in to?

... or does everyone just use zipties

I use zip ties and my fenders aren't rolled or pulled.

I'm curious too though. The thought has crossed my mind more than once. I think most people just get rid of the fender liners but I don't want to do that.

If you lower you car, you can use heat gun to reshape the fender liners. That's what broadfield did and I think it's pretty neat idea. You definitely want front fender liners.

Yeah I wanna put 17x9.5 +12's up front but I definitely have to keep my fender liners.I'll have to ask toby about that.

Yeah. The rears don't use any kind of liner.

[S133P3R]

Yeah. The rears don't use any kind of liner.

If you find out more about modifying the liners, please share with the rest of us.

My car's as low as it can go without rubbing the liners. I really just need to know for when I get new wheels. If anyone does it with a heat gun, a write-up would be awesome.
