Depending on how your wheels sit, I think all you'll need is a roll.

PM 180athid on the forums. He does guard rolling and does a very good job. I think he charges about $45 per guard to roll and I'm not too sure what he charges for a flare, but I would guess $55+. PM to get a more accurate price.

whats the difference between a flare and a roll? i always thought they were the same thing...?

Rolling guards is just folding the lip that hangs out from under your guards flat against the guard itself. Flaring is folding that lip and continuing pushing the guard out so that the guard is 'stretched' in a way. Rolled guards shouldn't be noticed unless you're looking from right underneath your guard. Flaring you should be able to notice.

I'll try to get a few pictures though just to show you what I mean.

Edit: Alright, here's a picture of a guard before it was rolled,

Here's the after it was rolled,

Here's another of before and afters.

Images were stolen from a user on ae86dc.

Here's a flare, you should be able to notice the difference between these cars standard.

Hope that helps.

Which side of Melbourne are you from? If you're from the east, I'm always hearing good things about Micolour in Moorabbin. If from the west, I always hear good things (usually on NS.com) about Primal Garage.

A little search in the Vic Section will give you more information on where these places are located.
