Looking to get my rear guards rolled a bit more and flared enough to fit some 17x9.5 (+18) rims on the rear of my 32 GTST. Who's used who for guard work and had good experience's?

I've access to a guard roller but Im quite impatient and will end up fucking it up myself so if someone has used someone that is good hit us up and I'll look into it.

Cheers

+1 for Des, rolled guards on my Evo 7. Very good at what he does..

If not Dentcraft are also good.

just do a ghetto roll, with a metal pole.

we did it on a mates car, and it works well if you are not worried about paint cracking. otherwise you can use a heat gun to prevent it happening.

I have access to a guard roller no worries and can roll them but not keen on trying to flare, never having done it before. Kinda prefer to pay some kent to do it properly and not worry about it.

If I cant get hold of this bloke next time im home I'll do it myself though and see what happens:eek3:

if you do it yourself just take your time, i always get carried away and start rushing it. but ideally you shouldnt and you will get a better job.

Yea ended up doing it myself and worked out pretty well. Heat gun + patience is the go, although I struggle hard with the patience bit.
