        if looking to get a fender roller i recommend the parts shop max fender roller

        check my review out comparing it to the eastwood

        if you end up purchasing it ask for the blue harder wheel

            I have the eastwood, love it. I have rolled over 100 cars and it's still holding up. the only thing i had to replace was the bolt that adjusts the wheel.

            Things that i wish they changed:
            -I wish it was BBK friendly(i use a spacer/washers which is a pita)
            -I wish it could adjust a few more inches lower(some cars have very small fender wells)

            other than that its a great tool!!

            PS always use a heatgun!

                    old school bat than i use the magazine roll to smooth it out. As long as you can control the decent of jack slowly you wont have any issues and its $300 cheaper.

                      powered by max one is the best for lowered cars IMO.




                      I couldn't get the right angle with eastwood one cuz the arm was too long for the distance from my hub to the fender. With PBM fender roller you can flip the arm and start from bottom of the hub instead of the top

                        WOW! On a totally off-topic tangent here, but sheesh! Their exhaust work is beautiful!


                        If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.

                        Your blast pipes look stupid.

                          Any opinions on the Eastwood Fender Finisher? My Miatas hub to fender height (on the ground) is about 10" and no roller will fit, so I'm thinking this is a better option.

                            Just my .02... Heat gun and a baseball bat, (and sometimes a hammer if needed) has always worked for me! So if money is an issue, this is usually free. Even better if you have touch up paint laying around, but with the heat gun I didn't need it at all. Good luck! Post before/after pics when you've got your results.

                                Me and my friend rolled his 300zx fenders with a metal pole wrapped in duct tape without a heat gun and it came out nice. Kinda ghetto but it worked well enough.
