Hammer and Evo fenders are not the best friends,you will find out when you do it the first time,the rear fenders fall in 5cm ontop of the wheelarch,that can only be done buy a bodyshop and with painting.

I did my wheelarches from my Evo Wagon a few days ago and they came out fine,no broken paint,no damage,apart from a small dent in the middle over the wheelarches,but you´ll only notice it when you know it

CE28N´s,here we come

i have tried. and my buddy with his accord got his done with hammer and gun and it came out nice with no cracking... most cracking is done on old paint or when u dont take care of it. fender rolling with a machine pulls ur fender out. SPP in placentia, ca does it with hammer n gun all the time. and talked to my mechanic n he said the machine messes it up.... which is why i mentioned that.

Ive seen people do amazing things with boddy work and soft rubber mallet hammers! Cant wait to see pics of this , I am looking for someone to do this soon since I got 275's I need to squeeze into my Evo's fenders. And Placentia is close to me!


You need to know what your doing ofcourse , but thats just like anything.

Im sure they dont just go in there and start banging the crap out of the inside of the fenders lol..

Would somebody mind posting some photos or directing me to some of an Evo with 285-30-18 race tires on 18x10s?

Cheers,
Mark
