i have a question since i was considering doing this. when you roll the fenders with that attachment or with the bat does it mess up the inner edge of the fender? what i what to know is does the paint crack from being rolled? if so then that would have to be repainted so it wouldn't rust out.

I used the bat just to bend it a little, but when the fender started to move a little I just used my arms instead of the bat.

Rolling the fenders makes it easier to tuck the wheel in the wheel well without having the wheels rub against it.

the more you lower the car, the closer your wheels will be tucked into the fender.

notice the tuck in on the front wheel, you dont do anything to the wheel

How much overall drop from the stock height did you achieve so far? Is the car even driveable anymore?

Should be around 3 1/2 - 3 3/4 inches in the rear and and 3 1/8inches in the front. The car is driveable BTW
