Default Can I have detail instructions for the BFH mod?

I was wondering if someone could please give me detail instructions and maybe pics of the BFH mod and the bump stop mod. Thanks

BFH mod, meaning you want to roll your INNER or OUTER fenders? If so I can help...just did that.

LOL, so let me get this clear. You don't know what BFH mod is.....so I'm guessing you don't know what it does...so why do you want to do it?

I'm sure I'm just confused though. Do you have an issue with your tires hitting your fenders during driving???

BFH(Big F'n Hammer) is for the inner fender only. Do you have wheels on the car and hear any rubbing? If so take a look at where the tire and the inner fender align. You can run your hand back there and feel where it's close. I used a 3lb sledge hammer and beat the inner fender well in a few places. You may be able to see some rub spots on the fender. Put the tire back on and go for a drive. If it still rubs repeat. You do not need to do anything to the bump stops as long as you lift the rear of the car from the axle. I have never had any problems with them driving the car.

I have 17x11 TTII and it rubbs on the outter tire along the tire wall literally gashing into the tire and it seems to to rubbing inside too because the tire is also woren out there and maybe the rim too because there's obvious metal contact on the wheel well

For the outer metal lip gashing the tires, you will need to get the fenders rolled. This involves using a heat gun so you soften the paint and metal so it can be rolled upwards flat. Some guys have done it without a heat gun ( using tin snips ) etc.

Do a search on 'heat gun'.

For the BFH, arachnotron couldn't have said it better so no need to elaborate.

Cool thanks. I was worried about the paint cracking or something else cracking and then be all screwed up.

It seems to me that Camaros have more of a problem with the 11" rims in the back than the T/A's do. I know they are the same car...

Uhm....hit where ever the undercoating gets rubbed off.....



Then get a can of rubberized undercoating and re-apply where the old stuff fell off.

Enjoy!
