I Need 20mm

[Adz2332]

Hey all

As above i need 20mm, i mean who doesnt, but what i need it for is the rear of a 32 gtst

The only over fenders i can find offering 20mm is Dmax and Origin.

Has anyone had any experiences with them? How was fitment out the box?

Is there any other options?

And best places to get some from??

Cheers

Adam

That'll pull surely. Newspaper method

Mine pulled this much

Nearly there

Using this method (guards lips already flattened):

Shamelessly stolen from the 300 forum. I used this to get my rears to fit and it works a treat!

First of all, you're going to want to jack up the rear by the tow hook, and remove he rear wheel. The you're going to want to disconnect the lower mount of the rear shock.


Remove the nut and bolt, and swing the lower mount out of the way.



Make sure the lower mount is clear of everything. You do not want it to catch on anything.

With the car in the air, and the wheel at full droop, this is what it looks like:

Not too bad, but remember it will camber in a bit, like so:

The fender just catches the tire, so rubbing will occur.

Next, you're going to want to heat up the fender, from where I'm point at, and to the right. Use either a heat gun, or if you're brave, a propane torch, lol


You want to hit the fender from the bottom and up, to heat up the lip of the fender on both sides.


Next, grab about less than a thumb's width of newspaper for the initial treatment.

Again, I'm using mechanic's paper floor mats. It works just as well.

With the fender heated, stuff the newspaper into the wheel arch, between the fender and tire. Make sure to have the newspaper span the whole area you heated up, or else you'll pull one section more than the other.


Then you're going to drop the car slowly, until the tire touches the floor, and the wheel begins to tuck itself inside the fender.


Now, it will make some noise it is just the sound of the fender sliding over the newspaper. Let it sit for couple of minutes, to give the fender time to cool off and take shape. You're going to want to then raise the car and remove the paper. Drop it back down to where you're tucking tire, like so:


You're going to want to check for rubbing issues. What I do is take some thin paper, and slide it between the tire and fender:



If the paper snags, then you still need to pull more. The tire was touching the fender in the area between where the paper is placers in the two pics.
Again, heat up the fender, and grab more paper.


Rinse and repeat as needed.


You can see the fender slowly taking a flat flared look


Just as a warning, the driver side fender will require more effort to pull, due to the gas cap there reinforcing the fender. So don't freak out if you need significantly more newspaper on the driver side than on the passenger side.

Keep repeating the process by adding a slight amount more newspaper at every pass. My passenger side took 2 passes. Driver side took 4. Again, this is normal. And here are the results:

[MagicMikeZ32]
