Flaring fenders

[Sweet-WRX-Lovin]

Heard of people taking a pole type cylinder thingy and putting up against the tire and rolling the car forward. Rinse and repeat for desired effect all around and or severe damage.

baseball bat....that is all I will say and I am not responsible for any unwanted damage.

A ot of body shops will heat and roll fenders with a device that is basically a bar with a roller on one end and a piece to fit directly onto your axle on the other. Just go to a body shop and tell them what you want to do. they'll tell you what they can do, then you compramise/cry.

Thats good advise it is possible to do on your own but trust me the results are never what you want. Talk to andre down at intense collision i think they do a lot of custom work as he has a 55 GMC pick up and my drivers are always talking about some sweet old muscle cars he has in the shop. I tried the baseball bat thing on a 88 TC drift car and it was a mess cost my boss about $3000 to get it looking right again.

So either I spend $1000+ doing this "right" or I get called ghetto. Thanks.

flaring/pulling fenders is far from ghetto. im not going to get started on ghetto, there have been some vary ghetto things i have scene on peoples cars and that is not one off them as long as its done right

[Erik]

I know, so how come the only answers seem to be:

1. Buy the widebody kit $$$$
2. Get all new suspension $$$$
3. Go to a shop and flare them. $$
4. Comedy baseball bat option :rolleyes:

And for some reason if I do 3 or 4 I'm not doing it right

balla rim need balla suspension... its the truth!

[KA-T_240]

your problem looks like it needs either some serious fender flaring and i mean serious or pulling the fenders which both should be done by people that have done it before

The baseball bat option wasn't supposed to be funny. It's the "proper" way to do it if you are doing it in your garage.

[KA-T_240]

if you make a trip to the cities i can get you in contact with some people that would be able to do it and they are supposedly pretty resonable and they have done it to a bunch off cars

What he said

[Colin]

If you dont need huge amounts of clearance you can get you fenders rolled for like 40-50$ a pop in minneapolis, but it will only get you 1 inch or so and many will not garantee the quality of your paint remaining the same.

it sounds like what he needs is more extensive than that.

sounds to me like you're going to need a body shop or something with bodywork experience - and I'm not even sure you'll get the fender out far enough with the metal that's there.

Wes are you serious? Are they just stock fenders?
