Default Front fender roll

Anyone know where I can get my fronts rolled and tabs relocated? I went to RT tuning and they swore it would crack the paint. My paint is cherry so I didn't take the risk but I know it can be done. Anyone??

Chances are slim that you will find somebody to roll them with out damaging paint. Especially if you don't want bacon fenders. Try LIP auto body in Lansdale. They do FANTASTIC. Work. They did the body work on R/T tuning a black CRX

Its a tricky process, so I'd do your research and find a place that has had the best reviews on rolling. You can get cracked paint, and from what I have heard- you can get great results, but in time you will have damage for the stress on the paint at the rolled section will crack on you, and potentially rust out.

I want to get 17 x 7.5 +43 up front with 225's. Maybe I can get away with trimming the liners??

You probably have a nice clean car, why not keep it that way? Don't butcher it up.

I can't help you w/ the rolling except for what I've already said about S-Factor.

Good luck.

Thanks freq!

Vince (jdmohcpower) is coming over this weekend but for those that need info on fender trimming...

Here is a fender trimming sample. The cut is painted over to prevent rust. Click on the picture to ENLARGE the picture. Its a little hard to see. If you got a good eye you will notice that it has been pulled slightly as well. Just enough that it does not deform the fender.
