    I'd say you could roll them or cut and weld. Depends what your tastier at doing though. Although looking at them the 1st and 3rd pic don't look rolled judging by the shape of the arch, the chaser looks rolled though I think that looks nicer but the r32 is a boxier shape so maybe that's why the arch shape is a bit different in the two pics.

    No like that chaser with the 13js on it if you've ever seen his arches he cut bits of panels off another car and welded them onto his car as arches.

    That's another one of my buddy's cars he didn't use arches off another car he cut the arches up and got sheet metal then and made his own design but he's changing it up again because the arch had to go on the door to work so he is solving that problem to make the arch all one piece

    Cut and weld is the only way to get it like that top picture , easiest way would be to cut an arch to the shape you want out of a piece of sheet metal then bring the arch on the car out to met it and weld it up if that makes sense , unless u want an arch full of filler

    Seen a friend of mine doing this to couple of cars. He does a lot of custom steel wings and arch work looks unreal tidy but takes a lot of time to get right I'll see can I get some pictures he's in middle of doing this twincam at minute.. These he just flared and rolled and pulled it as much as possible still needs work but it's not rubbing at all with suspension fully raised into body doesn't look much in picture
