I hope your roads out there are ok. Roads in Worcester suck. I wouldn't even want to be that low. Not sure I like the idea of rolling fenders either.

The roads down here aret any better than the roads in Worcester, I've been to Worcester on many ocassions... and I know fender rolling with a baseball bat sounds ghetto, but you gotta see how it came out before you judge. people telling me it wot work was more incentive to do it.

Nice stance and wheel choice . You mind telling us how you rolled the fenders with a baseball bat? I heard of some places that did it before on their customers cars , but lol'd thinking it was a joke...

Yeahh, it wasn;t hard at all. I bought a heat gun for $20-$25 at Lowes, a cheap two-setting one. And i used a wooden Louisville slugger, i think they're only like 25 at Walmart, but i had one.

Step 1: Jack the car up to the baseball bat just fits between the fender and the tire, and slide it in [holding on to the handle of the bat

Step 2: Heat up about a 6" area so its hot to the touch, as you cant touch it fro more than a second cause its too hot.

Step 3: Within that 6" area, lift up on the handle of the bat, making the lip start to go up.

Step 4: Continue to do this, one area at a time, going back and forth.

Step 5: Jack up the car more [an inch or two] and this time push DOWN on the handle of the bat (after applying more heat)

Step 6: Keep doing this untill its almost folded all the way up.

Step 7: Flip the bat around, putting the raised part of the bat on lip, this will make it easier to completely fold the lip.


Remember: ALWAYS keep applying heat. Especially to the fronts. Because the fronts are aluminum, they don't hold heat as long as the backs do, thus making the front more time consuming because you need to apply heat more often.

Heres an image to help you grasp the concept.


this image was taken from"Bad Noodle" on the NASIOC forum.


Also:
Some people "Roll" the bat. I chose to lift it up and move the bat over and press instead of rolling it, I dont like the though of rolling a bat with alot of pressure along soft paint.

When using the bat in the last steps, you might wanna make 2 or so passes that way, and dont worry about the bumps, using this part of the bat will get rid of them. To help get rid of them i found the bump, and rocked the bat back and forth, smoothing it all away, of course it wont be prefect, but its pretty damn close!

I hope this helps and although is sounds like a hackjob method, if you take your time, keep it heated up, and you fold it up in steps, you wont have any cracking or paint chipping.
