wow the fenders look clean did you have to repaint it? or just take your time rolling
I did rolling first and was able to pull it with a rolling tool. But it wasnt a true round, it had some warpage on the fender. it was slight, but i couldnt stand it. hahalol so i end up doing bodywork on it.

Planning to pull my rear fenders too...ill document it when i do.

How much did it cost for the bodywork (PM me if you can)...


Can anyone in here please refer me to a body shop in the south OC? I think I have decided to do a flare on mine.

You cant roll the front fender without doing body work because it is so weak that the roller just ends up pushing the whole fender up and not rolling it.

You definitely cannot flare or pull them without repaint.

My front fenders are really pulled and flared and didn't need to get repainted. They're a bit wavy but the paint didn't crack or anything.
