Default Lambo Doors... Rolled Fenders?

I have seen the lambo door kit on ebay and it is advertised as bolt on, no cutting or welding required, but it says that the fenders must be rolled. What does this mean "Roll fenders". the only time that i have heard this term used is when you roll a fender so that the tire doesnt rub.

where the kit mounts (door and fender)
you probably have to "roll" the edge of the fender so the kit would clear

Well I understand that but I dont see why it would hit if the kit was made properly. It would look retarded to have a big gap there. Has anyone done this? Does anyone have pics?

you do have to roll or trim the inner fender... no other way around it...
rolling just means bending out of the way...there is a lip under the fender that will hit the hinge and prevent the door from coming down all the way...it must be trimmed or bent (rolled)

You're not rolling the fender edge next to the door, but the inside area between the fender skin and the body. Like when you roll the fender, it doesn't make the fender opening larger, it flattens the material sticking out the back side.

yes rolling the fender mean you have to either cut or dremel the inner lip of the fender that faces the body of the car so that the door kit has room to move freely.

Here is a close up of the hinge. If you look at how the arm opens and raises and then you take a look at your door now, and look in the fender well you will see that the hinge won't fit bcause a long strip of metal is in the way. So this piece has to be cut away or rolled(bent in)

Original Hinge


Lamob Hinge

I just cut mine. You can get the door out a little farther. But still keep out the plus size ladies.

It would be cool to have them hinge off the A-pillar, McLaren F1 style...
