Default Fender Roller Anyone?

Since I've lowered my car, it's been rubbing a bit when I drive the back roads around my house. There's a lot of pitched roads and fun curves, but what fun is driving them if I'm worried about rubbing!

Does anyone have a fender roller I could borrow for a weekend? My friend Carlo has a heat gun, and can probably help me with it. He actually has a Mustang Cobra that needs its fenders rolled as well. Is anyone else interested in rolling their fenders too? Maybe we can make a tech day of rolling fenders???

If anyone has one that they'd be willing to part with for a day or so please let me know. Thanks!!!!

-Heather

Are your tires rubbing or is it the little plastic piece hanging in front of the front tires

Theirs really no need to roll. Just push the fender liner up above the two front clips in the wheel well. If anything, that's what is rubbing.

It definantly sounds like the tires are rubbing the fenders. It doesnt happen alot, but when I'm ripping on the backroads it's happened more than a couple times. I can "feel" it rub. (that sounds really bad! haha!) It doesnt seem to be the plastic peice. Ed even cringed when he was in the car with me, laughed, and said now I know how it feels to have rubbage, as his buick ALWAYS rubs.

Plus, why not roll my fenders? if I ever want to go bigger offsets I can. And my friend Carlo REALLY needs to roll his and whenever he gets on his car it squats and rubs.
