Default Say Farewell to the fenders....

As some of you guys might've realized that the fenders on the GS is very hard to roll because it might crack the paint. Due to the fact that the edge of the wheel arch is very thick.

This is how i did it....

Can't you just use a saws-all and make small cut so you can bend the lip back.

That will work.
Just watch the heat from the cutting wheel melting the paint.

Default Thanks for insight.........

Too late now i guess.

But the wheel shop tried to use the arch roller but the metal is too thick.

My friend's new Accord's fender was so easy to roll. The Honda's metal is really thin.

BTW - I measured the wheel arch of the GS and my friend's Accord. Surprisingly, the Accord is almost 2 inches wider in diameter!
