I guess the spoilers are right in the title. I got a random idea to roll my fenders after they kept hitting my tires during my last few practice sessions. I changed the offset on the rear down to 6, then back out to 9, but I still was not a fan of the look. So, I noticed how close in size the wheel opening was to an aluminum can. With that in mind, I grabbed one out of the recycle bin, snatched my kitchen torch for a little expedited heat exchange and then proceeded to attempt this for the first time on my drift missile.
Thankfully, it worked out exactly as I had hoped, melting just enough to be effective with no mess or issues. You can likely do the same thing with a heat gun and will probably greatly reduce the risk of something going wrong. I have one but wanted to try it with the torch so I could get it done and get on my way to the track. Watch as I roll both fenders in just a few minutes with only the shell, the can, the torch, and these two hands.
*Disclaimer: Please use extreme caution if you are using a kitchen torch, or any type of open flame element. If you are under 18, live in your parents' house, or do not feel confident doing this yourself; please ask someone for help. Using a heat gun will greatly reduce your risk of serious fire or injury.
This is the process I used, and you may not experience the same results. I cannot be held liable if you attempt this and ruin your shell, chassis, or burn down your home. Please take all necessary precautions, have your local volunteer fire department on standby, ...or maybe just some water in a cup. 🤣🤣🤣
Good luck, and as always...thanks for watching!!
