So many questions...

Basicly... tuck fender liner above tabs, roll tabs up with a fender roller or beat them up with a hammer gently, drink a beer.


On a +62 wheel you don't have to touch the rears.

legend4life, if you do a search and read the FAQs, you'll find that most or all of the questions you're asking on this thread and others have already been answered several times over, saving you time and wear on your question mark key...

lol, I think he has to replace his keyboard on a yearly basis due to the question mark key wearing out.

And before the questions come, no, I don't have any recommendations on how often to replace your keyboard and what type to get.

Front fender tab rolling is needed for extreme low ride height.
Where do the clips get relocated to from the tabs that are bent? Is a roller tool required to roll the lip? Is trimming the liner needed as well?

Is there some tab or bumper tab in the rear that needs to be relocated?

Also, what size clips fit right/best? I see ones on ebay with 15-20mm heads, and 9-11mm stems, 8mm hole.
I used zip ties. the clips don't hold so well after bending the fender up, at least for me

True story, the difference between now and this is when I started out in STR it was completely new and none of use really knew anything. Since then every STR question had been answered 100 times. I was nice and didn't say anything about the search bar. I summed it up with "so many questions." thanks for all the guys that did answer my questions though. I try to return the favor when I know the answer. I also try to post up things that I think other people in the future might have questions about. That way if they search or read a thread I could answer the question without them having to ask or search to hard for it. For example- my EU screen shots.

On topic-

I also used zip ties. I forgot about that.

this tool was my friend in doing my fronts nicely without paint chipping. No rub with my setup, street or track.

I'd rather spend $50 on a fender finisher than spend XXXX for new paint and or XXX for new liners.. .

You still have to heat up the edge with a heat gun. Or were you out in that hot Phoenix sun?

ha, well it was a cool spring, I mean winter day in AZ but yeah, I used a Heat gun and a Harbor Frieght infrared temp gun which also doubles as a tire temp gun

When I had my Civic Si I used a blow dryer and a pry bar. Worked but wasn't as easy and was a lil more nerve racking If I wouldn't have sprayed over the paint with clear, it would have eventually chipped though. I'm keeping an eye on my S2000 fenders.
