Inferno Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Better than cutting them and risking rust or cutting through/past the spot welds... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mas Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Better than cutting them and risking rust or cutting through/past the spot welds... There is no risk of rust when you paint the cut edges! and no risk of cracking the paint either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 mines off for a TRD spoiler, stock spats and arch rolling on Tuesday. Hopefully it doesnt go horribly wrong. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 best of luck mate, i had mine shaved as opposed to rolled as i was advised the paint would most likely crack. Not had an issue since having it done, and the car was undriveable before, scuff scuff all the way. Hope it turns out an easy job mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Good luck mate - your going to need it. What about GVN, dont hear bad things about them. You only have to look at Lee T's car to see the quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 It should be fine Gaz, if they gently heat the arch up first it shouldn't crack the paint,well thats the theory anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
