Again guys, you need to understand that you are doing the work on your own car. Yeah $7 is a steal for fender rolling, but that's just your access to the tool to do it to your own car. Help will be there of course, but only help (not work done for you). Not trying to sound like a jerk, just don't expect it to be done for you.

There have been a few guys with posts that sound like they want to drop off the car or they just sound like they're getting someone else to roll their fenders for just a few dollars.

I just don't want anyone to show up and expect Jason to do all the work on their car. I'm not trying to be a jerk, just trying to clarify that this is a DIY job.

I'm heading to Jason's right now to get there at 8am. See you guys there.

.....................................corrected ^^sp

I have already called acidjake75, its his.

BTW Jacob......Nice Nudes of the GF ! No I won't post.

Also you guys need to quit mis-spelling my user. Its FITHAMOTO ! not Filthamoto. you guys are making sound like I'm dirty. I know i was all sweaty yesterday, but thats not right.

I had a great time with all you peeps. It turned out to quite good event.

Thanks to you all for pitching in with the tools, rental, jack stands, & beer.

Special thanks to JasonZ-YA, and quakerroatmeal for the tools & rental, not to mention the whole idea.

I have only a few pics early & then started to drink...so I don't have many to show.

Hmm, seems like you should only notice that from certain angles. Like only if you're lying on the ground and looking up. LOL

That's wierd, I'm going to have to take another look at mine and see.

Mine was rolled much more than everybody else's - at least, it was a noticeable difference. I guess I got a bit carried away.

Good thing is, this opens up a bit more for me with respect to the backspacing sizes I can get for my racing wheels. For my daily driving wheels, though, I may have to finally get a camber kit and now spacers.

I think your springs need to re-settle, I know when I jack up my car, it takes a VERY long time for it to go back to normal height. Finally weather back to normal and nice again, washed my baby and it's like a whole new car again! Love it.

Nah, my springs are few years old. They're not going to resettle. And if they did, I'd have even more negative camber which would give the wheel a more sunken look.

As much as I'd like to not care completely about how it looks, it's still bothers me somewhat. I need some aggressive 15" wheels.

That reminds me.. can any of you guys help?

Yes, absolutely . If this doesn't happen then I'll call you first. But don't get your hopes up....has has told me that he'll be at my house around 6pm.

I just finished getting all the Jacks in place and all my Lugs off.

The Z is " All Jacked Up "

A waiting Volks !
