Default Easiest way to roll front fenders? HELP!!

FInally I got my 18" and coilovers done today (I will post another thread for more pics later on)... I was driving and I had to get gas so I drove to a gas station when I entered the station I heard some sound come from front right tire or fender.... I got my gas and drove a while then I stop for some food and checked the right front tire and damn.. I mess the fender little bit (look at the pic) and it cut some of my new tires in the first day [:@]anyway... I have to roll the fender by myself tomorrow. Is there a easy way to do it other than baseball bat or plastic hammer ? I gotto do it tomorrow otherwise it will mess up my tire...

Thanks Thanks Thanks....

I think it was Brrman that said to take an old school rolling pin, bend one handle at 90 degrees... and then roll back and forth. Even pressure.

Or, in the words of some crazy hillbilly at a local body shop... you can just "beat 'em in with a hammer, and redo the fenders"

Yeah, a big ol' hammer, and paint! EASY AS PIE! He also said that it'd be IMPOSSIBLE to roll the fenders without causing paint damage... crazy hillbillies!

Most major auto parts dealers should have a fender lip rolling toll that they can rent out.

Nice man. You'll prolly find out that your gonna wanna dremel out some of the plastic in the wheel well. It'll give give you a little more clearance and won't hang down like that.
