i couldn't get any close pics to come out good. I will tell you this. If you are just going to roll the lip up. You can do it without any body work at all. As far as flaring it... it works great to flare it but its not pretty. Of course i added like 3/4 of an inch so it is pulled really far.

The problem is that once you start flaring it and warming it up to not destroy the paint it gets really flimsy and the flare looks a little wavy. What i did that helped a lot was to roll and flare let it cool and then pulled it with my hands to kind of smooth out the waves in it. It stll needs some pretty excessive body work and if you pull as much as i did, the quarter panel will cave in.
