    Your gaurds are already rolled though?

    Actual gaurd pumping is proper bodywork, depending how much you need them pumped, a body shop might be able massage them a bit, but it could get expensive.

    Or do you just need the lips flared a bit?

    I'm geussing you only need your gaurds flared, pumping is for fitting massively wide wheels (or tyres) generally.

    Depending how well they do it, you might have a few issues with paint cracks

    Well thats a phat chance Ray, if you want guards pumped like your thread title well when I got my car done I got quoted $2-300 a side to get the guards pumped properly, then you need to match the joints and also body to thats that has been pumped, without destroying the paint which is inevitable.

    A good body shop will do it for you probably on the spot if you organise with them to do it.

    raise the car, or get wheels with right offset? different tyres will have diff effects as well, some rub, some dont dependant on design as well.

    Probably the best places to go to as well. I went to a drift workshop and the paint on a few spots have cracked and flaked off. A few rubs here and there doesn't help either.

    I had my new fender rolled by the guys that carried out the insurance job on my car and it came out great (having the lip rolled before painting would've helped I reckon ).
