[bigred318]

okay so i went to go get my car looked at today for a 4 wheel alignment and he said before he can do anything i should roll my fenders.... So how about would you guys that have done this project do it? i have heard numerous ways... some involving taking off my wheel and taking a rock and beating my fender haha. anyways some ideas would be great!

Thanks

If you'll search we just had a topic very similiar about 2 weeks or so ago covering how to do it.

Question though for those of you that have. How did the front passengerside go? I ask because there is that corner formed into the wheel well. If you have rolled your front fenders please let me know how that went and whether the structural welds in the area of that corner have held up.

if u roll ur fenders urself try not to crack the paint

Yeah we used to do the baseball bat thing on our trucks. Kind of dangerous though. You basically put the bat in tight and roll up over it. It is the ghetto way and I would never do it on my BMW

Yea you have to use that tool if you want it done right. Even using the tool theres a chance of cracking the paint..
