hey guys i have a quick question,

can anyone tell me about rolling guards - how much it costs, and who I should go to for a good job?
worried about the paint cracking...
just looking to get the rears done at this stage, not lowering but want to get some wider tyres (and wheels) on.

ps. the pics look awesome! shame about the fine and defect :(

also on the topic of guard rolling me and trent used this guy http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1781201534#!/profile.php?id=1751127625&ref=ts
it was 180 to lip the 4 guards then 30 a guard to flare them.. and he was really good he explained all the chances of paint cracking pushed trents rear flare as far as he could, he knew
how far he could go before the guard would collapse in.. and on mine i was worried about paint cracking as it had been lipped with a hammer by a dodgy panel beater... paint was cracking

Considering we attend meets and socialize I don't think people will have an issue adding me on face book as it is a pain uploading pictures on another website and then linking them to this web page.
Seriously? How hard can it be? Besides, if you've got them on FB already, you just need to post the public link to the album....(displayed at the bottom of every album) :nod: :)

Jeff has a guard roller he did my car
That's who's gonna be doing mine :thumbs:.

Udi if your not gonna lower it then I wouldn't bother spending the money mate. I have had mine on both Std and with Kings on 18's and dont have any issues with scrubbing etc that would require doing it. My Kings springs are for sale by the way if anyone is interested lol.

hendo, the rims i want to get are off the stock 350z (6 spoke) and the stock rear tyres are 245/45/18, heard they won't fit without rolling. What tyres are you running?

Yeah they are nice wheels and look good to. I saw some going cheapish on NS.com awhile back. I'll let you know what tyres I'm running. Still gotta come and get those blinkers ah.
