HI everyone can anyone show me what it looks like with gaurds pumped the guy that is doing the conversion on my ute wants to pump the gaurds i would like to see what it looks like i dont want it to look dumb
mcdat

looks tuff as. mine were pumped on my coupe before i put flares on. unfortunatly dont have pics.

does i look better than flares

in my own opinion , id rather the utes with pumped gaurds and decent width 13-15s.
tried the look of my ute with flares didnt like it at all.
but my coupe suits flares.
personal preferance.
end of the day its YOUR car. do as you like :)

any one know how to pump them ? can i buy a tool ,or can i just use the lip rolling tools that are on ebay ??

if you want them rolled id get them done profesionaly (can be done with hardly any paint damage)
if its under primer and you only want to lip them , hammer and dolly (can be done without dolly)and slowly plemish it.
or the ghetto way :baseball bat in the wheelarch and get someone to drive it forward. (ghetto but suprisingly it works)

i dont know if i am willing to let him do the pumping unless i can see it first

my gaurds are getting respayed so no probs there ,i might ask around for someone with an english wheel or something ,then it will bwe uniform ,or buy a baseball bat haha

ill have a look for a pic of a 1200 with pumped gaurds for ya :D

I really need to take recent photos of my ute, where its lowered a little more but i did it with a guard roller and a heat gun and fixed it up with a dolly and hammer.

On the front it was easy as pie but the rears you would have to cut and weld... guard roller was to hard because the inner guard was to thick! so i had to smash it with a hammer to run wheels for now till i cut and weld for 14x9's

oh yeah beware using a guard roller its common that it will suck in the top of your guards like mine, easy fix but yeah it happens

In my opinion yes pumped on utes suit better than flares but flares looks good on coupes. my opinion.
