Didnt even know u could get something like that. I just used a dead blow mallet.
Yes, me too for the front left. Due to a spin at the track, one of my front tires had pulled down the fender lip. So it had to be fixed on the spot. For the rears, I was looking for something that ended up looking more OEM.
Mark-->I travel to Dallas often for business. Please put your sale on hold until I can talk some sense into you. I have a favorite whiskey bar in Addison we need to meet at for the discussion.

Hard decision, but needs to happen for multiple reasons...
Did this the other day to my 99 C4. Added a center radiator kit, re-painted the inner radiator shrouds and made a little grill for the center radiator from some wire mesh.
Randy...ive seen where a few have done this but never really looked into the 'whys' of it. Could you explain the reasoning for doing this...is it for wider tires, cosmetic, to avoid track rash ??

996.1 has quite a big lip on the inside of the rear arch... if you have the lip rolled (ie; folded vertical, so it lies flat against the inside of the rear arch) you can get wider wheels/tyres or lower off sets.
Rolling allows you to run something like a 10x18 et38 or 11X18 et50 rear wheel, on a lowered car... where the tyre would foul the lip without rolling.

Yes, In my case, I am running a 295 rear tire. For track/grip reasons, I would like to be able to run a 305 wide rear tire, or space the 295s out another 5mm. As mentioned the horizontal flange lip on the 996.1 is quite lengthy. The 996.2 are rolled and much better in this area.

Thanks for explaining this! I've read a lot of threads about rolling the fenders but thought they were talking about flaring them out a bit. That always seemed kind of dangerous to me (paint-wise).
