Fender Roller Guard Roller? Hamilton

Hey guys thinking of going down the rolled/flared guards route now to get my 15x8's under before lowering my car.

Anyone know of anyone that has one? anyone who does guard flaring? Or anywhere that sell's them?

Any help appreciated.

Kind regards

i have a cowl and 2 guards and a eggcrate grill to ...

cheers for that BR, hrm i'm still in need of rears for roadtrip wagon, plus had a play on the panasonic ipod interface and it seems good, I am in love with pods so will never go to any other mp3 player, but the usb feature would be very good for people looking for a multi use setup.

Hrm first vote for panasonic then! Yahzir!

I've had a few panasonics so far mainly because for around the 400 dollar mark, when you want a headunit with triple preouts sub out and aux in etc it seems to be the go, nice enough interface.

Mainly use ipod so its a shame that most other brands ...

After a friend painted his s15 matt black with spray cans.

Was just wondering wether there's a slightly better way to do this job then spraycans but also keeping in mind ...

hmm cheers for the answers so far

i do have to wonder wether the modified bonnet would matter or not, as surely a bonnet with all the bracing cut out would still be stronger than a fibreglass job?

and for the seats would this mean i could get seats make up a bracket that suits the original ...
