Nice! Is that finish "Bronze Burst" perhaps? Look forward to this on a black sedan.

Yeap, it is Bronze Burst. I will get some pictures of it asap in the sunlight. Thats when it really pops. And on a side note, 285s look perfect on a sedan

Thanks for remembering! I think I started the build thread after I had pulled my fenders so it might not be documented in there.

Want to Pull my rear fenders out at least 1/2 inch.
I know there are some sedan owners on here that have pulled their rear fender. yes I know that the rear lip is factory flat and nothing to roll but I need to Pull them out.

Have you done this? how much have pull were you able to do without requirement of body work?
If you have pulled with an eastwood before I think you can probably get about 10mm before the quarter panel starts acting funny. I pulled my fenders about 15-20mm - not too sure because I just eyeballed it - and certain places of the panel bubbled in as if they were dented.

Here is what the fender looked like before it was smoothed out. Keep in mind this was the first time I've ever used a fender roller and I wasn't worried about damaging because I knew my car was going into the shop. I'm sure I would be able to do a much better job now that I have the experience under my belt.




Even with the pull I have to run -2.7 camber to fit my 295/30/19x11 +25.

Thanks! I was hesitant to pull the trigger on the Bronze Burst so I am happy I did. It really pops in the sunlight.

If you do an aggressive pull, you might as well go to a shop unless you like bacon fenders.

If you only need a few mm, I'd still recommend hiring someone to do it. You'll want to avoid going to the body shop unless you're okay with spending a good chunk of cash.

As much as I recommend people going to get professional help with body work I have done it on my own before. Wayy back I rolled my IS300s fenders with a baseball bat, phone book, and a heat gun. Definitely didnt turn out as a bacon fender but took a long while to finish.

I would still recommend either having a professional do it or rent/buy an Eastwood fender roller. Would have made the job 10x easier. Actually, Eastwood has the tool on sale right now for $108. I may even pick one up to have around the shop.

Working on it, I promise! I have a few cell phone pictures but they look like garbage and are unworthy for this thread. I will get some nice pictures this weekend for you guys.

I was so unsure about the bronze burst color. I have always defaulted to the stand silver finish on all my previous wheels for past cars. I am happy I went outside of my comfort and went with the bronze. It looks fantastic on the black. Now I just need to black out my window trim and grill.

Edit: Just realized we follow each other on IG. Love your car BTW.
