Default Front Fender Roll without Cutting Liner

Just rolled my fenders this morning and figured I would share my plan. I read the DIY and it was suggested to trim the liner around the fender tabs. I didn't really want to do that as I like an OEM look so this is what I did.

1. Removed the top 3/4 clips that hold the liner on.

2. Rolled the fenders with the liner still over the lip of the fender. I did not move the liner out of the way.

3. When rolling was done, I tucked the liner inside of the rolled lip, then gave it a couple more passes to lock it in.

The liner sits higher up than stock, looks completely stock because I didnt cut anything, and it doesn't sag at all. Got rid of rubbing on my 17x9+63 advans with 255 RS3s.

Here are some pics:

Nice work, I wish I trusted myself to roll the fenders on my S2000.

Nice. The part where it bulges will likely rub on the tire. Thats the only reason I trim that part. I'll add this to the fender rolling tips sticky.

This is the kind of roll that you need to do if you want to be auto-x STR rule compliant. You can roll fenders, but no pull, and must keep fender liners in tact.

On my passenger side I did it by removing the fender liner. Then I found this thread and thought why not try it this way as it seems like the better way to do if your rims and tires will allow it. I didn't go too aggressive but it definitely rolled it an ok amount.
