Default rolling/flaring fenders

i will hopefully be borrowing a fender roller from a local member soon to do my rear fenders.

my question is, i have seen many other cars have the fender roller/slight flare on the rear and front. i am wondering if this has been done on the s2000?

if anyone has any tips or pics/info please post it here!

-Nick.

You can flare the rear fenders but you have you make sure you dont end up buckling the quarter panel. This makes a big dent in the middle of your quarter panel.

I put the heat on the inner lip since that is what you are moving with the roller. Just take your time, and go in fluid motions. Don't stop and start. Its better to spend more time rolling and keep adjusting the roller to the next level than try to force it at once.
