Suprised you don't have any rub. Are your fenders rolled?

No sir! Stock all the way. Stock offset for my waggy is +52 I think... so that really helped.

yeah, thats what I was quoted for just the roll. The labor will run you a LOT more than the materials.

I'd do it myself, or pay someone in beer and food and have a helping hand. for $400 bucks you can't beat the price. It's almost worth paying someone to take care of the job though, so much work.

I tried that. Beer didn't work for me. LOL!


It's a lot harder than it looks. Especially when you're using rolls and have to hand cut everything. A LOT harder. But for $400 I guess you can afford to mess up a few times before you hit $3000.

Not to mention, that roll has more than enough to do a car. So you will have room for error.

Yeah. $400 well worth it. It's hard not getting any bubbles while trying to wrap your ENTIRE car too....
