Go to rollyourfender.com (or something close to that) for a how-to and a special tool.

I used a heat gun and a wooden bat.

Looks like a lot of neg camber Do you think your setup will go through tires fast?

The fronts push out from the wells - but its nearly a perfect fit. Very aggressive. Definitely a kick *** wheel.





Little close on the caliper!

Wider tires = more footprint = less camber. I used to run -2.5. I now run less than -1.5 with the same perf.

Looks good! Can we get more pics of the car from different angles and further away so you can get the whole car?
