Just wondering who can come to my house and roll my rear guards?

Car is not drivable at the moment.

Thanks man, appreciate it.

Athid

Yep spoke to Athid already, he charges a $30 call out fee + $50 per side

See if anyone can beat that.. if not then I may just wait till I can drive it somewhere and get it done.

If you need rims to get around on man, you know where I am.

ah awesome, thanks heaps man.

I got some rims on the car but if it bounces it will touch the guard and the last thing I want is to cause some damage.

I don't want to reset the suspension just to drive it somewhere to get the guards rolled, so hoping someone can just come around and do it.

Worse case I'll just put some other wheels on and drive it somewhere, once its drivable that is.

Thanks man, is he on SAU or NS.com?

Might just send him a PM first rather than calling him out of the blue.

Hey

Paint only cracks when you actually flare the guard, but if your just rolling the inner lip of the guard so not modifiying the external/outside of the guard then there shouldn't be any reason the paint would crack.

lol

Search buttons for poofs

Nope as you are folding the metal inside and rolling it.. it still puts stress on the lip..

Mine were rolled only.. and they developed slight spiderweb cracks

Rolling the guards will cause cracking...how much it will crack will depend on the condition of the paint and how skilled the guard roller is...and heating the crap out of the guard helps too...

heat it to much and you will blister the paint though

you must becareful

Can't you 'make' a crack along where you want it to before you start rolling to minimise cracking in unwanted areas? Just say you were just rolling the inside lip and you were scared of the paint cracking out to where you could see it, can't you get like a stanley knife and make a scratch inside the guard so that when it's rolled, IF it cracked, it'll crack in that spot? Did I make any sense?

Yeah was just talking to LEANBAC about this before, if you cut lines into it, it folds over easier so causing less strain on the paint and stretch, if any.

But I haven't seen/heard of people cracking the paint by just rolling the lip in, so not flaring the guard.

My friend had his R32 done not long ago and it was fine, also my cousin used to do guard rolling and it used to come up awesome.

They didn't used to flare just roll the lip as they couldn't guarantee the paint wouldn't crack.
