fender roll...

Anyone know where would be a good place to get a proper fender roll done at? And an estimate on how much? It just makes the fenders wider right?

It crushes down that inner lip of the fender that projects inward towards the tire. If you roll the fender enough to actually change the shape as viewed from the outside you will need paint work because the paint will not stretch like the metal will.

spot on - you will need touch up paint / take your car to a bodyshop if you flare your guards

If you was in Florida I would do it for you. I did mine already with no problems at all. I rolled them flat, all you need to do is get a heat gun and he the metal up really good before you start rolling it and take your time with it that way the paint doesn't chip off. As long as you keep the metal that you are rolling hot to the touch you shouldn't have a problem. Just don't let just anyone touch your car because they can mess up your paint.
