Pumped Guards?

[DaGr81]

Has anyone had their guards pumped?

i wanna know what they turned out like? photos?

how much? and where?

is it like the cars in japan where they keep putting fibre glass on it to make it look fatter or does it literally get pumped by beating it out or something lol

Id like to know this as well. Seeing as how the R33s have that flat lip on the front and rear guards, id like it to look slightly like a BMW type of flared/pumped guards.

Pics would be sweet

cheers

DMD, that who clearly did this car cause he is the owner of the business

but i dont know off a few other company's that do it, there one guy that does it out of his van at ur house....

cost $200 for a mild pump

[ctjet]

wouldnt that crack paint... how does he do it?

[n15m0]

using a heat gun and slowly rolling the guards out...does run the risk of cracking the paint regardless if you're not careful.

[LiQuid IcE]

uses a guard roller

yeh chances are teh paint will crack.

stage 1 is rolling out the inner lip

stage 2 would be bringing the guard out a little and lipping the guard

stage 3 would be actually pumping it out as much as possible.

anything other than stage 1 would crack the paint heat gun or not

Thats the DMD front bar im planning to get. Do guards need to be pumped out for that front bar? Also is a new bonnet required or will that front bar fit the std 34 Gt-t bonnet.

dont u worry either that or i will just have to get those wider guards which are being sold at jetspeed either way as long as it looks a bit wider but not too wide

Heres a pic of my car, wen the guards were getting done. Its a GTR add-on guard extensively modified to look seemless. And is about 2 inches wider than stock. (Note rear wheels are 18x10" +16 offset with 265 tyres.)

I will post pics of the complete car painted, wen i get it back from the mechanics.

and yes it will crack

I had my Stock 32 Gaurds pumped and flared. They actually cut the metal inside the wheel arch and re welded an extra peice in to get it out further. Added about 1 and a half inches. This way definitly need a new paint job though so if you dont wanna spend big bucks i wouldnt reckomend it.
