Anyone Know How To Flare Guards?

[LANDSCRIBBLE]

Does anyone around perth do guard flaring like for a job or something, or know someone who can? Even a backyard job by someone who sort of knows what they're doing, lol. The new wheels are poking a tad out the front guard, rears are just inline with the guard.

I know i could probably do a bodgy job of it but id probably make it look tacky or crack the paint. Car is a 96 R33 GTS-t, ive read somewhere that the fronts are difficult to do, if not do-able at all? I dont need the inner guards if that matters.

Help would be appreciated.. i dont want to chew my new tires again

Or if someone has a guard roller i could rent for a day i might just give it a shot myself, as all 4 corners have already a fair bit of rolling done.

Why not buy some flared fibreglass guards ?

Most of the flaring I've seen leads to cracking of the paint

My panel beater down here in bunbury has the flaring tool, does a fairly decent job also without damaging paint. It is a fair drive just to flare guards though

Was thinking about fibgreglass guards but they dont seem to look the goods on R33's. And a bit out of budget for all i need is an extra 10-15mm clearance on the front and maybe 5-10mm on the rear

Yeah Bunbury is a bit far, is there noone else in perth that has one or can flare?

Pretty sure Luke ended up just rolling his guards, pretty sure they're just rolled.

Jack car up put news paper roll/ trolley pole in heat gun then push it

Mine are rolled already just need the rear guard flared out 10-20mm. Know how to flare anyone??

I ended up taking my car to a bloke called Desmond - AutoFX. Rolled the shit out of the guards and ever so slightly flared, turns out they didnt need to be flared much. Anyway he did a great job and managed not to screw the paint up at all, even with a few existing cracks around the guard.

Any word on about how much it cost with Autofx?

It was nothing crazy last time I got it done. Call Des and find out!

I did it myself on my last car using a hammer, but paint was't really a concern to me...

Hi all,

I just had Des come and flare my rear guards to clear my new rims. He did a great job, and I'd recommend him to anyone.

I recently did my own with same method Hank Scorpia used with the help of a heat gun as my paint is in good condition.

No cracked paint and clears my fat tyres.

Dez did a great job on my rear guards, but i do wish he could pull the guards out a bit more.
