+1 with the pipe. Easy as pie. Just roll the pipe as the wheel turns to keep it smooth.

Lead pipes work best since they're somewhat soft. A hot afternoon, a pipe, and 20 minutes is all you need. Beer optional.

Mallet and head gun works well for me.

Use the bat or whatever you are using for the back.

For the front just use a rubber mallet since the fenders are easier to work with than the rear.

I am actually so tough, i roll my fenders by lowering my car, and placing my penis between the wheelwell and tire.

Is that why they call you The Eunuch?

a pipe works too...
you wont get the fender lip nearly as flat though.
A fender roller will get it totally flat against the fender.
you can also use a hammer and something supporting the backside of the fender and hammer until flat/desire

Only since the recent ..."accident". The japanese had a term for me, which roughly translated to "The Calloused Rod", the westerners called me "Labia Grinder"

It's amazing how many times this has been covered.

hammer, heatgun/torch, old shoe.

use common sense to figure out what to do.

The hammering technique doesn't work as well as just a baseball bat. Just wedge the baat between the fender and tire (the lower the car the easier) and press the fender lip in. Do it slowly and work your way back and forth.

We just did my friends like this on thursday.

Uh...unless your car is actually low...in which case you'll snap the bat and put a gigantic dent in your 1/4 panel and maybe bend a wheel.


Get a fender roller...they're like $180 or something from eastwood.com

Buy it, use it, sell it.
