U guys that rolled ur fenders. How much did u roll the lip back? I can't imagine someone rolling it all the way back to the inside of the fender (but i could be wrong it is my first tiem doin this). Also how far to the sides should i roll? I can pretty much get the whole fender but stopping @ the rear bumper (which is kinda high) and close to the side skirts. No problems so far just don't want to push it too much.

I can't give you an exact answer but when Dustin and Soleil did mine they went from a (example) 90 degree to like a 70 degree angle, and then started from the beginning and rolled it to a 40 degree. Like I said I really don't know what actual degrees it is but it definitely isn't rolled flat with the fender because that would cause problems with your paint for sure.

Cool thats about where im at now. And im guessing it's mainly the top area u need to roll and not worry bout the sides much at all.

Exactly. I guess you can say the outer piece (the part that actually fawks your tire up) is curved up, almost rounded. After they curved it they used the roller to actually begin folding the remaining metal upward.

well it all depends. cause mine needs to be rolled more. b/c i have too much negative camber... if i rolled it tighter and pulled it a little, i could correct the camber a little more. not much more but it would def help.

Fenders can be pulled, so there is always the possibility to roll the lip completely flat.

w00t! Just picked up the y-pipe from Chiu, so hopefully I can get it installed Monday so I can stop losing like 60+ mpg. Thanks again man!

What's everyone doing today? I'm chilling in Metairie if anyone wants to do anything.
