Yup use a baseball bat (wood works better) and a heat gun or a blow dryer. It's not that difficult, just take your time. Depending on how wide your wheels or bad your offsets are, you'll need to cut some of the rear fenders too.

Heat it up and go slow or you'll crack your paint.

See, thats what I'm scared about. Those are people who know what to do and still messed up. There has to be some one in the bay area that can roll fenders and not mess it up.

To save some grief and time I would take it to a bodyshop and pay the extra cash. I know Shawn over at Active Autobody can roll them correctly and if the paint cracks, well its a bodyshop so they can and will fix it.

Thanks for the good info!!! Do you have a rough idea of how much it may cost?

Well I just spoke with Shawn about 2 mins ago and he told me that the labor is where it costs a lot of cash. He would have to explain it to you. But it may be cheaper to have Asura or someone else give it a try but he told me it will crack for sure if you use a bat, even if you go slow it will flake/chip and come apart. Then I asked about a blow dryer and even with that he said your taking a chance. It will heat up the paint but it still can crack even if you take your time. I will PM you the estimate if you want it.

On a flip side of the coin I may go with the 04-06 rear OEM bumper and exhaust since its very inexpensive with the hook up! Or Mugen SS rear... Shawn has some hookups on some OEM parts..
