That is a cool little tool. Looks like something I'd purchase. I had planned on lowering my car a bit more, but was concerned with rubbing issues...

I did mine with a night stick and a heat gun. Worked out just fine.

No matter which way you do it. You wanna clean the fender before getting started making sure their are no rocks or dirt stuck on that fender your trying to roll. Go always make sure the fender is warm (heat gun or just hot from the sun) and go slow so your paint doesnt crack or chip.

Might as well do it like a man.

[Don't actually do anything in that video at all.]

thanks. few people already use my DIY with no cracking or issues. that diy was originally posted on g35driver.. if you want the lip to be completely flat, it'll be best to use the fender rolling tool.

I've done 7 sets of fenders now using Accordfreak's method with the ABS pipes without a single cracking issue.
