Hey Everyone,

Has anyone have experience with Sonic MS doing their fenders? All of their yelp reviews sound positive. I called and asked if the work on s2k's before and they said the actually cut the inside fender instead of rolling them and smooth it out @ $60/fender.

I'm pretty apprehensive on having a shop cut anything off my car. Any input appreciated!

if you cut it, its gonna make the fender weaker, i would suggest rolling it instead if your not in need of some crazy clearance. and $60 a fender is pretty expensive. should check with when spunky is coming up next. he charges a lot cheaper and has done many s2ki's s2000 fender rolls.

DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR THERE. they crunched both of my front fender lips, making both of them wavy and causing paint to fall off. they said it was "standard procedure" and i couldn't leave until they had my $120. ####ing crooks. i eventually got both fenders redone at a body shop.

Wow...Thanks for the quick feedback. I won't be going there for sure. I tried messaging Spunky but no response from a few weeks back..Guess he's super busy.

thx again for the responses...

Do NOT cut your fender, once cut it weakens it forever and you will never be able to roll it again....

Sonic Ms does a good job on European cars, not so much our cars.

Have spunky do your fender work. About $100 and probably the most experienced for s2000's
