Default rolling the rear fenders?

how can you roll the rear fender piece by the rear of the back tires since it's plastic?

If you are talking about the part that is actually the rear bumper I have no idea. At the same time I would not think you have to roll that since the need for rolling stems from wheel travel (up/down) and that part of the bumber is behind the wheel. Impossible for the wheel to move in that direction (backwards).

Unless you have some 20"big ass wheels/tires......

No, I think he means the fender it's self. It has a plastic guard on it so he might have mistaken the whole lip to be plastic. It's not. Remove the plastic cover to expose the sheet metal lip. Then have a friend help you hold a bat in the wheel well as you drive back and forth "rolling the fenders".

It sounds ghetto but that's how it's done. I've done it to both my Integra's and my Civic Hatch

The bat works, but it's easy to crack the paint when not used carefully.

There's actually a device of rolling fenders. I might give it a try later on.

Is there a particular name or place where I can get my hands on one of those?
