Guest boostjunky Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 roll guards & remove springs - problem solved lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rx_thug Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 i think some guy on badrotor used to advertise to roll gaurds for $50 a gaurd (correct me if im wrong). put an add on badrotor. $50 a gaurd doesnt seem expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest boostjunky Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 yea ive seen his add too $50 a guard is expensive considering you can do it yourself with a baseball bat - and it turns out mint as Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzl Posted October 24, 2003 Author Share Posted October 24, 2003 yeah lowrx2 hes my mate....i can get it done free...... using a proper gaurd roller.not dodgy baseball bat that cripples any gracefulness in your lines....baseball bat gaurd rolling always looks crap...i can tell from a mile away(well maybe a couple of metres) if we can get a few cars together we can get it cheaper... goto aussie if you think its exspensive.......$200 a car aint bad...aussie they do it for $400.........
