I dont think i've ever had to use a spacer because the roller would not reach the fender lip. sometimes spacers and adapters have to be used to match PCD or clear bore sizes.
The 350Z is a fairly straight forward car to roll/pull with practice, Actually did on yesterday ... it was a bit of a rescue mission, but thats another story, lol
With 350Z and/or Nissan G coupes ( essentially the same thing ) you have to be careful not to curl the fenderlip out when rolling, they have a fairly tall stock outer fender lip which is easy to ripple and curl.
Just take your time and work carefully.
Heres a G35 with the Eastwood, i use the Eastwood most of the time.

Its a pretty easy car to work with, you just have to be careful with the fender roller because the cars have squared off fenders, not perfect round arcs like most cars. also the front fenders curve in a fair bit before they meet the bumper. I always prefer to work them by hand, old skool style, you get a much better job that way.

Originally posted by Jcoleman134 View PostHey man was wondering if you had any pictures of some civics you have done? preferably civics like in my sig. i had problems rolling the front in my 4 door im guessing because of the welds.
The fronts are normally fairly easy, its the tabs that hold the fender liner you have to be careful with. i have a few tricks for getting round them
