    Did you use a heat gun when you rolled the lip... I had to roll mine on my street car and pulled it off without chipping any paint...

    well its a little late but they make these... you can usually rent them or pay like 75 bucks to have it done at ricer/tuner shops. a dude her would do two fenders for 100 bucks and came to you...

    they adjust. slow adjustments with heat applied to the fender can do a really good job. All the tuner kids and "hella flush" wheel kids do it. I have seen fully creased fenders that had no chipping or cracks...

    its a slow and tedious process but it works...

    truck looks cool anyway...

    thank you! i surprised myself that i was able to pull them that far without creasing anything. these dakotas have some strange body lines i didnt think would cooperate.
