i did mine my self on my last evo, used a block of wood and a hammer, when a pro at a shop saw it he asked me who did it for me cause they did a good job lol, u need a heat gun and a block of wood wrapped with a towel to hold the outside of the fender while you work on the inside of it, and no matter what people tell you, paint will crack even if you heat it for an hour, it just helps not make the cracking huge

Has anyone used these? http://www.eastwood.com/fender-finisher-1.html
The customer reviews sound decent although several say not useful on older cars due to the thick metal.

I just rolled my fenders and the rears may be difficult with that tool...the fronts are so thin tho w/a lot of heat the fender finisher may work well.

I think the tool would be most useful for "finishing" the fold if you needed the lip to be completely flush with the inside...their are areas that the roller was incredibly difficult to reach.

I used a mini sledge and a heat gun to do mine, turned out really good. I messed them up a tiny bit when I pulled them tho, buts to 90% of people its not noticable.
