Ok I put 350z wheels on my mk3 that is lowered. The rub. What is the best way to roll the fenders? My friend told my to use a baseball bat. I'm just not that redneck. Any better ideas?
How to roll the fenders?

if im not mistaken i have seen a fender roller kit on some websites. check around websites that has auto body repair equipment and go from there.
Mine are rolled with a bunch of metal tubes (like baseball bats) of different diameters and a hammer. Sounds sketchy but as long as you're careful and go slow it's very precise. Be careful though, our paint cracks really, really easily and the rear fender metal is thick. Using a heat gun helps with the paint but mine is flaking off.
Go punch your friend in the mouth for suggesting such a asinine way of doing this.
Fender rolling tool and a heat gun will make it look like they came from the factory like that, If you take your time and do it right.

kind of pricy but its worth it, you could even make your money back if you start doing it for other people or by just renting the tool out. good luck and post pics when your done.

Virtually any performance shop will either have one of those tools, or know what shop in the area does.
Or you can copy this japanese dudes technique.

Hey I have seen some bad ass cars where I live, having been sprayed by the same guys...they do prep the shiit out of the cars. But they use rattle cans, and they look really nice. Also for a booth they use a car canopy that zips all the way up...and (2) 20inch box fans as vents.
ya but no one around oklahoma city has one so im sure with practice i could use it make money. Heck in Dallas they want 50 bucks a fender.
O hell no I am so not doing that to my ride. I'll buy the dang roller. I so thought the baseball bat was a bad idea but that is REDNECK jap style.
