I used a mallot wrapped in a cotton towel, a blow dryer, and a lot of patience (of which I have precious little). Some paint flecks had to be filled on the underside of the lip, but easily covered with a new fender liner strip and not at all visible. I wouldn't try it on someone else's car though

So did you actually roll it or tap it in??? And did you just you touch up paint for the little flakes?
Tap. Front to back, back to front, like a million times. When the lip gets perpendicular to the ground you have to be very careful not to flare the fender accidentally. Yes, touch up was fine. Even when applying heat simultaneously, avoiding stress cracks in the paint is extremely difficult.

I got charged $80. I don't know if thats his normal price because I know of a friend of his but it shouldn't be much more. I opted to not roll them but rather cut where the fender needed to be trimmed. I think this is a much better idea than rolling fenders and no paint cracking.


The wheels are now flush with the fender and I'm gonna go back to having it slammed soon enough. I'm gonna get some nice night time pics tonight and will put them in the gallery. Check them out, people doubted these offets would work but they are fitting well!!!

Here are pics from today...
