90%. come on.....
you're better off just doing it yourself. it's not that hard if you have a roller.
$150?

It's simple physics....
Get a piece of thin metal, paint it and then try to bend it. At some point the paint will crack! You can heat it and be careful but if u are trying to fold it flat over itself, forget it.
There's a shop in mountain view that rolls fenders and they told me they can roll the fender but they MUST be painted. This shop was recommended to me by a few s2ki members.

also has anyone heard of just cutting the fenders with an air saw and then just use wet dry sandpaper to smooth it out?
