Default Need to roll my fenders, who can help

Ok, so I got my car back, got my new rims and I know I am going to need to roll my fenders, so anyone out there who wants to help me out locally, let me know. I have no experience with it, let me know what to expect and what to pay.

i hear shaving is quite easier and alot safer for your paint (cracking) i'm going to do this when i slap some fatter tires on.

dremel and cutting disc are your friends.

Darcy
Send a PM to KUNI (John), he has a Laguna Blue 2006 also, he had his fenders rolled already.

i would suggest that you first get the car aligned...

thought that i would have to have mine rolled cause it was rubbing on all 4 after i dropped the car and put on larger rims- took it to darin for an aggressive alignment and the rubbing went away!
now it only rubs in the front on decent bumps, and no rubbing in the rear at all.

if yours still rubs after aligning, then you gotta roll - but imo its worth checking

anybody know a place where they shave the fenders and paint them afterwards for a decent price? only problem i have with most places shaving the fenders is that it leaves the fender exposed to rusting.

Car was aligned before I got it back from the shop after the rims, I am rubbing on hard corners on stock suspension. So I can only assume it would better be safe than sorry to roll before I drop it an inch with such wide rims.
