DIY Fender Mod

Recently I acquired Enkei RPF1's 17x9 and BFG g force 275/40/17, did some research and I will need my fenders rolled and pulled. Couldnt find 'evodave fender mod' for sale so I figured Id do my own. This is a temporary mod for me until my wide fenders get here, for some people its permanent. I did search on how to do this but all the photos are gone

Camber is set at a -3 for now

You will have to pull the inner fender so its easier
Unbolt the fender thru the drivers door
Pull the fender by hand
Use the homemade kit

Tools needed:
Fine tooth hacksaw
Socket set

Parts needed:
Perforated metal strip, got mine at the local parts store, $2 for 5ft
2 bolts and nuts

That only spaces the back of the fender, just sayin you have to space the front otherwise you just created the fender mod look without the function hahaha.

^^^ that's a pretty elaborate setup not sure how well it works but if it gets the job done good deal!. The kit I offer even on the most aggressive setting will still revert back to stock by simply removing the kit, no cutting or modifying the body or mounts. no headlight distortion and no extensive modification 100% reversable

+1 for getting a diy up for alternatives
