How was it rolling your fenders? That is another thing on my list to do.

rolling was good. took about 1 wheel well to figure out how to do it good. (start in the back as the front fenders have ALOT more give and bend and flex)

i've always wanted to park under a semi, and it was raining so i've finally done it.


ps: hopefully paint happens within the next month
