I drove an hour each way to a shop that is well known for it's fender rolls/pulls. I asked for a mild fender roll in the front so that I could move from 195 tires to 205's. They ended up doing a roll/pull on the front of the car. I called back, after I inspected it at home, and they said that sometimes a roll flares out the fender so they do a light pull to make it look even.

That said, maybe I'm just having a hard time adjusting to these buldged fenders, but I think they are out a little too far. Did the shop do this right, or did I just get effed?

Also any tips for how to remove the black plastic trim around the wheel well? I think the plastic strip looks crazy now that the fenders are out so far, also the dimples in the trim make the flare look uneven.

I think they did a good job but they went a little far on the pull if you're just trying to add 10mm to your tires.

On the upside, you could probably fit some crazy wheels in there now, or run super wide tires haha

It'll look better without that trim on there I think. Like WAY better.

 

Where the hell did you even get that nasty ass trim?

 

yah, remove the trim and it should look a little better. and go wider on the offset to fill, i suppose.

 

Hmmm Time to slam it and put sum 16x9 lol It looks fine just take off the fender Safey trim

 

Thanks all...

The trim came w/ the car. Any ideas how to get it off? It has some kind of spongey adhesive behind it, almost like a badge would. Same process as a debadge?

Also, is the general thought that the shop did fine, just went a little far, or is it that they messed up?

 

Did a good job as far as looks, went a little far on the pull.

If it's got adhesive a heat gun and some goo b gone to take off the left over stuff would probably take care of it, just remove your fender liners so that the heat doesn't warp them if you end up using a heat gun. That's what I would do anyway.

 

Pull yeah a lil too much pull but for the stance ur running right now maybe down the line u change it up 16x8 + 20 will sit nice lol

 

yah, the trim adhesive is similar to the emblem, but since the trim is plyable you should not need to use dental floss. just pull it off.

mounting tape pulls off easily when you stretch it or if you pull sideways. if you pull straight up away from the paint it might be difficult to get off in one large piece. GL!

 

They just pulled it out a bit further than what you expected. Mine looks the same, but not quite as aggressive.

 

Thanks all! Yeah I'm def going to get rid of my -camber now. Next set of wheels will be 17x7 30-35+ offset.

Last question about the trim...is there real paint under there or will 2 years of leaving that s$#t on have messed up the paint under the plastic?

 

Nevermind...they came off like butter...and you're right they look 100x's better now.

 

awesome!

 

You remind me of a girlfriend that lived with me for a year and a half.... She was always asking me if her boobs looked natural after an augmentation ... I told that they didn't but I liked them anyway.

 

Yeah, but do my fenders match the rest of my body?

 

Your fenders look good but I like titties better.

 

 

I like boobies and all but ass is where its at.

 

I think they did it perfect, I know the shop I went to that did mine they turned my wheel so they can make sure I'm also clearing for U-turns and what not. Looks like they considered the same for you. Plus you can fun more aggressive for the future
