How Hard Is It To Do Without Chippin Paint.... I Gotta Do Frnt And Rear... Any Tips Any One ????
theres a few ways to do it (apart from paying a panel beater of course)
theres the ol kopper log trick
get a kopper log big enough so the guard sits on the log when its jammed between the wheel and the guard
roll the car forward so the log rolls around the guard, and you hold it at the right angle to flatten the lip
or just grab a soft faced hammer and a heat gun
tap around the guard with the hammer (dont just belt the crap outta it) and use the heat gun to warm up the paint so its more plyable and isnt as prone to cracking

most auto shops sell them now round around the $200 mark
