Fender rolling
 
Anyone know someone good in the GTA that does this?

Check with RXSmooth, he had his fenders rolled and you couldn't even tell the difference. I think he did it locally.

Easy enough to do yourself. Just takes borrowing a rolling tool (preferable over more primitive methods) and using a heat gun. Going slow, not employing too much bend per pass, and applying heat to small areas at a time as you progress the roll is critical to protecting the paint from cracking.

Sort of like what they do in this youtube vid:

^ Thanks. Think I will get someone else to do it so I don't mess it up. Locally, I heard that Tires23 does it...

advance powerhouse 416-781-8671. They do a great job over there.

^ Super, thanks for the tip

Why you rollin thunder?

Think Al said he knows someone, I believe the S6 had to be. I could be wrong, I am getting old you know, and my memory is fading.

Putting on 15mm hubcentric spacers and believe I will need to roll the fenders.

I will check with Al too... thx old man!

This is the one I want…
2008 - 2009 Eibach Wheel Spacer Bolt Pattern 5x114.3, Center Bore/Hub Dia. 67.1, Spacer Width 15mm, System 4 Mazda RX-8 R2 1.3L Part#: 90.4.15.002.1

Can be seen here


Of note, I can use these with Volks because of the cavity I have. For OEM wheels, go with 25 MM version and it will work perfectly and you won't have a problem with OEM studs obstructing wheel to hub fitment

Thumper3322 06-22-2009 09:25 AM

I thought you liked the off set of the Volks set up?

rx8thunder 06-22-2009 09:42 AM

^ Think it could be better, visually speaking.

Thumper3322 06-22-2009 09:58 AM

OMG...U kill me :rofl:

Footman 06-22-2009 10:01 AM

Yeah, look who's the anal one now eh Scott? heheh

ZmFnZm 06-22-2009 10:32 AM

sorry Footman, but nobody beats you in that dept.

Footman 06-22-2009 10:42 AM

The pursuit of perfection is something white people will never understand... i.e. think Lexus vs. General Motors, and look where they are now.

rx8thunder 06-22-2009 10:58 AM

^ OMG footman, everything based on race :Wconfused

I admit, I am picky :score:

ZmFnZm 06-22-2009 10:59 AM
