    yes,

    get some vice grips or something of the sort, fold the lip up and out depending on how big you want it you may need a hammer.. strip off the paint, bog it, sand it smooth and get the lines you want. prime then paint and its all done.

    altenately you maybe able to use a guard roller, i have not used these personaly and perfure hand flared gurads as i need them a larger size.

    Some advice: Don't flare the gaurds on your KE30. It will make you look like a bogan. There is heaps of room in the back of a KE30 for any tyres anyway. If your front tyres are sensible, 185/60/14, there is enough room also. If you have longer lower control arms and/or 195 or 205 tyres, you will need to roll the front gaurds. You only have to do this very gently, drag the hammer HANDLE between the top of the tyre and the gaurd.
