You shouldn't need to roll the fenders with those size tires. Your problem is likly due to a shortcomming in your suspension. Assuming you have the Eibach Pro kit... dump that and get some H&R race springs, or better yet start looking at the MM Road & Track box for the 99 Cobra. Except you don't need the entire "box" since you already have some nice shocks & sub frames.

Well if you do decide to roll your fenders heres a few hints........
Take a fresh new razorblade and score the paint on the lip where your gonna "roll" it...this scoring of the paint allows the paint to "peel at that line and not further out to where you can see it...
Use an aluminum baseball bat to roll the fenders. your gonna need yourself and 2 other people for this. Start at the rear part of the fender when you do this. Make sure your on flat ground, put the car in neutral and put the fat part of the bat in between the tire and the rear of the fender..Now this is where your buddies come in handy.....have them slowly roll the car forward while you hold onto the bat. As the fat part of the bat starts to reach the lip put down pressure on the handle of the bat to slightly force the lip up into the fender.......you gotta do this in little increments and rock the car back n forth slightly putting more pressure on the bat handle to fold the lip into the fender.....I hope this helps..If you have any questions my AIM name is Streetracr67 or e mail me at BFalvey@iqmail.net
