Ok well first off rolling in your fender means : That inside lip in between the fender and door area needs to either be cut and ground down nicely or make two cuts then roll the lip in so that the lip is pushed in towards the inside of the fender more to leave space for the lambo kit to move out as well as up and down.and if it is done properly by a pro it should not effect the new paint job. However i do not recomend bolt on kits, while yes they sound cheaper it will be more of a headache than anything i have sold many lambo kits and the ones with the complaints are the bolt ons. i recommend a weld on hinge it will cost you more initially but it will last longer and cost less in the end. the biggest problem with bolt ons are the adjustments always come loose . another drawback is that the doors only open at about a 60 to 70 degree angle with the gt factory weld on kit the door will actually go up on a 90 degree angle , making it much easier to enter and exit the car. it also looks alot nicer than the doors that only go partially up. and please whatever you do ...STAY AWAY FROM "KNOCK-OFFS" while they may be cheap ( starting at $300.00 ) they will do you more harm than good. there is a reason why they are cheaper. and use a litle common sense about it . the only thing holding the door to that car is the hinge. i had a customer a few weeks ago that had me redo his car with weld on hinges he brought it to me because he purchased a set of "knock-offs" and after 3 months the welds that held the door together cracked from the stress of moving the door up and down and ultimately the door fell off wile he was driving luckily the door latch held the door from totaly flying off but believe me it still did quite enough damage ( i had to replace the door , fender ,rocker panel, and quarter panel as well as repair the a pillar ) and he did pay quite alot for me to repair this. So i guess the moral of my story is ...stay away from knock-offs and if at all possible save your money and get the weld on versions they will last longer and work better. |
