its easy. its so easy even a caveman can do it. i had to say it.

but really u can just do it in the garage. but if u still prefer to go to a place and have it done from somebody a performance shop can do it if they install parts as well.

I have a friend with a body shop and fender roller. Let me know if you want to do it. He is off on vacation right now, but we can figure something out. He will do it for $100.

My friend has been doing it a while. He's done stuff from volkswagens to gen 4 supras. Its all about heating the paint to make sure it doesn't chip up. Let me know if you are interested.

Ryon is correct.. use Heat gun (not hairspray.. Automotive Heat gun over 100 degrees) to heat to soft the Clearcoat and base coat so it become flexable then do rolling while it Warm/hot.. Never use in cold.. it will Crack the paints.

Instead of making another thread I wanted to bump this. My buddy clubs are going on next weekend most likely and they are fairly aggressive and need fender rolling in the rear. I wanted to weight my options. So far I have heard these shops/people do it:

Westwerks
Group2motorsports
Ryon's friend

Anybody have any feedback on them? I know two people who had their cars done at G2. One was a G35 and it turned out nice, the other was a friends Audi A4 and his fenders were cracked all to hell. I want to avoid cracking my paint at all costs really and no I don't want to cut them with a dremel. Any suggestions or feedback is appreciated.

Use a Di Grinder instead of a dremel ... my useless $.02
