How to Roll a Fender - Lexus ISF (Making room for wider tires)

[monster9391]

Did you buy or rent the roller?

[bobtimduc]

Looks awsome I'm running the exact same sizes on my konig lace 20's for my IS350 and I'm just about to order my lowering springs for a 2" drop. Thanks for a great vid now I know I'll need to roll my fenders. Beautiful ISF by the way.

[arthurkitchen]

I love your car so much! I am wanting to lower a 01 Mustang GT but all the kits I see are also 2 inches and I've seen pics and it doesn't look anywhere near as low as yours. What would be the next step to get it low like yours?

[I13LIKE13PIE]

i have a question, im looking into lowering my car and rolling the fenders, but there is a plastic liner in the wheel well can this liner be removed and left out with out damaging the car?

[bentley2006]

why 30's on the front and 25's at the rear? could you not get them both the same profile? my bad if this has already been covered!

[meade916]

@bentley2006 285/25/20 is about the same profile as a 235/30/20

[bentley2006]

@meade916 i now its close to the same, only 5mm in it and with the size of the wheels you cant even tell (not on the video anyway) just wondered why not both 25's or 30's lol

[DevinXYP]

How's the ride comfort with those thin tires?

[meade916]

@DevinXYP its fine.

[3HaloPlayers]

oo and add a w in front cause of youtube

[3HaloPlayers]

[kalargyi]

its just me or the car is ridiculously low?

how do you race another car with a street sweeper?

[meade916]

@kalargyi its only been lowered 2" so yes, i would say its just you.

[CyberdyneProductions]

Man your ISF looks awesome Steve, I would never have the guts to modify a car like this but you do a great job.

[meade916]

@CyberdyneProductions thank you bro.

[freshkryp69]

A bat will work just as good with a spare tire..

[meade916]

@freshkryp69 no it wont.

[risewiththefallen999]

Is it just me or is the windshield cracked?...

[SpindlyOsprey]

But does it blend?

[cordlessyeah]

wow i wanted this tool but i couldnt afford it back then i used a wood bat lol

[jeffens1991]

[old12school3]

Looks phat!Hey steve what's your offset on your wheels?

[thegoof529]

I Like how the tail lights are Already tinted in this video! LOL

[theXcenter]

[rompn4x]

The baseball bat trick is cool if your broke and are rolling fenders on a 91 civic lol

[Jtrain43791]

@meade916 how wide were the nittos? i'm guessing 225 and 265 yeah?

[meade916]

@Jtrain43791 235 and 275

[basshedz06]

meade that isf has came a long way bro an a nice platform for all the modes might i add. keep up the great work bro an keep doing yo thang.

[brownthug2b]

so how long do u heat treat the fenders for before u roll em?

[TheRandomSanta]

nice video as always!!! great choice, pirellis are one of the best tires you can get for a street car

[McTw1st]

are you stretching 285's? =/ how wide are youre rear rims buddy?

[meade916]

@McTw1st who said i was stretching? that shit is gay. These tires fit properly.

[01Ranga]

Sweetness! can i rent it from you roll my fenders then send it back?? ;) =P

[meade916]

@01Ranga nope but i think amazon rents....or your local autoparts store.

[sl1ck213]

she is so sexy take good care of her steve!!!!!!!

[4drek]

Way nicer than the IS250!

[drewkang34]

looking I must say

[joshuadf21]

@ Meade916. Aye bro! I need a demo! I live in North Highlands area and been a fan for about 5 years now. I've asked a couple times but your busy. Understood. But if u could message me and let me know a time and place that'd be awesome. I'm building a system on a budget but its in the works. Actually just dropped my door panels off for pods with Jack. From "jacks sleeper goes deeper". He's a good dude. But if u could bro that'd be greatley appreciated. Thanks

[SuperChevyboys]

Hey steve, I uploaded a video called beats on a bike- hilarious! Crystal clear, music not added!! Needs to go viral!!

[brutisking]

[jody024]

[TuchMyGucci]

[samkonetsky]

yer cost abit tho so the bar trick is do-able for someone who is low on cash

[meade916]

@samkonetsky and the end result is a FUCKED UP fender. No thanks. Do it right the first time is the best policy.

[samkonetsky]

@meade916 not really have you seen it done

[meade916]

@samkonetsky yes and with the worst results imaginable. Show me one YOU have done that came out good not something you saw someone on the net do.

[samkonetsky]

@meade916 alright then when i get my car lowerd ill show ya

[mikeitop]

[winningsince85]

[EndofDays213]

[Rms2000w]

wow sick ass it turned out relly good, the paint stayed on real good,heat gun musta worked real well

[coreyhalo20]

Hey Steve i need some help. I got a 94 nissan 300zx and i was wondering what you think would be the best set up for me.the highest i can go is two 10 inch subs if i go bigger i hve truble with boxes and stuff.what you think i should get in your opinion.n ik i posted this on your other vid jus needn some feedback an idk if you look at ur old vids or anything

[holyshist1]

@coreyhalo20 what color is it?

[coreyhalo20]

@holyshist1 red??

[tat2titan]

Nice work! Turned out looking great!!!

[guitar911rock]

i'm not a big fan of lexus, but damn that thing looks good... smoked tails looked great, and that stance is killer. no camber necessary.

[atomicfart3514]

Steve, do you have any plans for any body kits or lips? Carbon fiber hood maybe?

[meade916]

@atomicfart3514 nope. The front airdam already hits everything i get near, so no aftermarket lip.....no body kits or carbon fiber hoods either.....not trying to rice my F out bro. If i had a carbon fiber hood, i would paint it to match so nobody could see it.

[Fastass555]

@meade916 hey Steve I'm wondering what speakers woofers and amps I should get for my first system I'm just need enough so I can feel it

[meade916]

@Fastass555 ummmm 6 15's.

[holyshist1]

@Fastass555 i would go with the 15's actually. good bass when they are turned down low but its something to show off too cause their loud as hell. it was my choice and im very satisfied.

[mrchrisk36]

Had a friend just rent that same tool to roll the fenders on his Lexus lol!!

[daMagicPlum]

hey how much woud one of these tools cost me steve?

[krazor8]

damn that car is clean as fuck

[MrBluewaffles]

do your wheels have negative camber?

[meade916]

@MrBluewaffles nope. .9 degree's and that is it. Within stock specs.

[tekniquesportz]

damn i love the smoked taillights.. made a big difference imo. i rolled my fenders with a heat gun and a metal hammer =) paint didnt crack either.. i got lucky lol.. the base ball trick scares me

[meade916]

@tekniquesportz thanks! and ya bro the bat is no joke...i wouldnt use it

[First2ner]

why do you need so big tires?

[bryson6001]

aye can i get sone advice lol. on my 04 chevy Colorado black. like im trying to redo my system and i need some help lol

[ABRAHAMON24Z]

Damn steve....@ epickillerz... Didnt u jus tell these fools that the rubbers d JUST clearing.. N this tard is talkin about spacers.. Lol. He already said he cant do spacers!!!

[ABRAHAMON24Z]

I hear that bro, let em keep hating, everytime they toss negativity n stupidity u get paid lol!!

[ABRAHAMON24Z]

DAMN STEVE... What dont u kno how to do bro lol..

[meade916]

@ABRAHAMON24Z i havent learned how to be nice to trolls yet LOL - thanks :D

[TonyFbaby87]

My opinion is to put wider tires on it. Somehow the car looks disproportionate. Like the top is to wide and the bottom (wheels) are to narrow. Looks like the car could tip over LOL. some real fat tires in the back would give it a more aggressive and stable stance.

[meade916]

@TonyFbaby87 are you seriously that stupid? Some real fat tires in the back? What do you think i just did? jesus

[MeinTRadu]

steve:| How did you cracked the windshield? 4:00

[meade916]

@MeinTRadu been explained 15 times bro.

[McChicken00seven]

Car looks stupid as hell with it sitting that low. Looks like your struts/shocks are shot.

[meade916]

@McChicken00seven you are entitled to your opinion, no matter how lame it is....but you aren't very bright. Those "shot" shocks are worth more then your pop's car......(i would say yours, but i am certain you don't have one).

[Cwrigh25]

Was that stock suspension or a coilvoer? I am waiting on Lexus ISF turbo vid. Doooooo Eeeeeet!!

[meade916]

@Cwrigh25 they are KW V3 - and i will put a turbo or s/c in someday when they work out the bugs (only one out there and it has bugs)

[USPhotoRecon]

@meade916 get a custom turbo kit, rear mount, they are fresh, see a guy with one

[meade916]

@USPhotoRecon you buyin?

[USPhotoRecon]

@meade916 I thought since you put aza's, fig control arms, issforged cat back, kw v3 coil overs and pirellis i thought you could afford it lol my bad ;D

[meade916]

@USPhotoRecon nope. Broke. LOL

[LordAbraxesDark]

Hey bro! when u gonna showroom that beast?!

[Preludeddrivers]

Nice!...



[Thedog496]

should throw a turbo in that beast, or better yet a supercharger :p Haha

[Miggy60]

Steve i think you should run for president :)

[440sac]

in the old days I just used a rubber mallet to fit some N-50's cool they have actual tools for this now.

[ej1squad]

Were did u by the fender roller? And how much

[tokenchoke311]

@ej1squad it's in the description

[71Chevyboi]

Man that thing looks good Black on Black i like that i've followed it from when you first got it big difference for stock......Is that a crack in your windshield on the right side?

[bannanaskill]

Needs some red

[Creeper2340]

Hella flush.

[calvinblinkee]

@Creeper2340 Not even.

[bigpimpinhusla]

they 20s, really 10s but they 20s

[2100Awesome]

Anything is possible with a lift!!!

[meade916]

@2100Awesome true!

[madsexymanofthenight]

Aaww watching youtube well takeing a shit

[hobobasher]

steve the only problem i see is that arnt you making a pocket for dirt and corrosion to start? its not a big deal in your area but in other places it would be but even just the dirt ending up in the little pocket you made by rolling the lip upwards. either way it does look cool and its very functional and it seems like it adds some sort of rigidity to the lip. looks nice keep up the good work

[CLNFREAK1]

EASTWOOD is a great company... they are 15 mins from my house ;)

nice work steve !!!

[rmr411]

Steve meade king of mods and sound, fuck all you idiots who talk shit on here your just a jealous fucks who think your keyboard warriors

[misterjimmy81]

Great job Steve!. btw did you have to do any tab relocation on the rear bumper? Curious since most cars have the tab screws toward the tip of the bumper.

[meade916]

@misterjimmy81 nope. and thanks!

[YMCMB561]

all u need is some speakers

[TheIncredibleMrOz]

You have to be just about one of the most talented people ive ever seen..

[rsmith1240]

Those P-Zero Neros? Those are great tires, that's what AMG Mercedes come with from the factory. I was eating up the Toyo T1Rs and the Pirellis have lasted significantly longer and are much quieter. Your ISF looks sick, couple turbos away from being a dream car.

[IOwn4Tractors]

clean that bad girl up! exhaust tips lookin black! lol

[ksizzle199]

How much did the roller cost?

[shock1379]

@ksizzle199 Amazon will answer your question because if you would read the description, that's where Steve bought his from.

[antariusb]

That's a nice car man. Can u do a video on how the sound system sounds in your car.

[iamBl4z1ing]

So beautiful..

[sushi215]

I love your instructional vids! They're so awesome!

[timforsyth89]

see how much easier it is to roll your fenders than it is to buy fenders that are wider? good job steve

[NortherNC4lii]

Thats a bad ass car ..aint it funny how something so simple like that makes a difference now your able to put bigger tires on now thats SWAG

[meade916]

if your comment was deleted, it was probably due to stupidity or an unwanted/un-needed suggestion. Suggestion box is closed.

[roneisagoon]

sexi shit

[poojacrew]

hey steve do you ever miss the is250 you had?

[arosuzi]

Nice! So whats next? :D Big ass sound system?

[K4Lku]

My nugga...fuck what anyone say. You're a true MODERN DAY Da Vinci! I hated the Lexus IS with a vengeance but after seeing your videos I realize how wrong I was! Enter that car in any competition and it's a straight winner :)

[meade916]

@K4Lku glad i could change your mind LOL :D Thanks bro.

[NewTovagulet]

Dun know why...

But here in south america I saw a Lexus almost the same as yours...

It had black wheels and was completly black...

[timothysidebotham]

Nice ride man

[MyCosmicPath]

Clever device ha,

I ground them down on my mr2 turbo but I could have done with one of these.

[yzf7steve]

What kind of system you have in your Lexus? Is it stock or what are you running for a daily driver system? Just curious.

[oACE20o]

@yzf7steve he has his tahoe for a daily system and daily driver. Putting a big system in the ISF would weigh it down.

[yzf7steve]

It funny how easy doing anything to your vehicle can be with a lift and the proper tools.

[meade916]

@yzf7steve bro you arent lying there!! its the BEST!! (lift)

[thefatcat13]

i Like Your Attention To Detail.

[smsno1]

looks like batmans weekend ride!

[PaperMoneyPlane]

In the first video you showed you ISF I was in love with your car, I still am.

[sunnyGsss]

wow that was easy

[candle2k]

Baseball bat trick? Never heard of it. I can imagine what people do though. I was planning on buying that fender roller from eastwood anyhow. It looks great

[jesseadkins187]

damn that fucker is sexy!

[fsktoxin]

i was gonna come through last weekend to get a demo but i didnt know if you wouldve been busy or not.. i was in frisco visiting a homie at travis afb..

[MoneyPrinter204]

9 people dislikes cus the windshield is crack.

[420kushhogg]

Damn u just passed me I'm in modesto!!!

[meade916]

@420kushhogg i was just there too hahah......but that was 2 days ago not 4 hours ago (when you typed this) LOL

[spoonserver]

Thats a great tool. Don't let anyone lean on your car now though!

[bigbassdave]

:o nice one bud, you need it out more though and a bit of camber :D mega stanced ISF..... hmmmm thatl be the 1st i think... :D.

[meade916]

@bigbassdave sounds gay. No thanks. I would rather cut the top off with a jigsaw and put coffin interior, and dingleberry's on the windshield.......

[bigbassdave]

@meade916 ohhkay lol not into mega stance then? lol. coulda just said :(.

[GOVI49]
