someone just answer his question, how do you roll the fenders? ive heard you can use a wooden bat or something like that

You can but it's ghetto as fuck and when IT DOES screw up your shit luck out of a fender. We tried this on a 95 Civic EX coupe and were far from successful. The lines are uneven. You have to do it in one go as to not let the car sit on the bat and make a nice buldge and in 'one run' you get with the bat it had better go PERFECT.

I would just cut reliefs and knock the edges back w/ a ball pean hammer or body spoon & hammer, or just cut off the edges completely.

Just take it to a place that rolls fenders, pay them money, and have it come out perfect. Easy enough if you can find someone with the tool.

all we did with mine was cut little notches about 5 or 6 inches apart. basially just cut straight into the lip part, then folded it up in sections, just used a mallet basically hitting something else on the lip. worked fine. just make sure you put silicon all over the edges to keep the metal from rusting when you finish
