Im curious as to how many of you guys have flared your 240's with a bat/tool/whatever. Post some pictures and information you've learned along the way about this process. I rolled my fenders with a fender roller, now Im looking to flare them out about a half inch....Im leaning towards using a bat, however I dont wanna mess up my 240 lol. I'm not worried about the paint, bc I just finsihed priming the car black. So, if you have any good info on doing a flare (just for the rear) lemme know...

thanks in advance,

Marcus

I've used a bat, MGE's used a bat, Dizel01 used a bat on his old car.

Never had any issues.

I was dumb and didn't roll mine before a drift event and I was running wider tires than before. It pulled the lip out and effed up my liner and all. So I took a jack handle and rolled it, then I took my 2lb sledge with a rubber palmed glove around it and pounded it flat. I guess I learned the hard way.

We did a friends Rx7 FC years back ghetto style. He didn't care about the car, so we didn't care about the roll. As long as it didn't rub we we're good to go :)
