If those guys say it'll fit then I guess it won't be a problem. I think that's toward the extreme end of the spectrum though. If you have the resources roll them to be on the safe side. It's quick and easy job. I've done over 30 s2000s with no problems using the fenderroller.

http://www.fenderroller.com not sure if he ships to Hawaii but if you get a few people together you can share the cost of the rental. If you get it while I am there in November, I'll do it for you, just need a heat gun. If he doesn't ship, I have one in my garage, I'd bring it with me but the sucker is heavy and travelling as light as possible with the baby.

I hope we can make this work... Steve's our only hope of taking our resident auto-x champ down.
I think Pat Olsen has the best shot at the moment.
If Jayson would set up his S2k for race and get out of the M3 (hint hint) that would be another s2k.
Last race, Mike Friedman drove my car and said he wants to get an s2k (though he's said this before). If he goes through with this and tunes it to his liking, I'm sure in time he could get Curtis too.
Time will tell.
Who knows, Curtis may retire before we catch him! (though that wouldn't be any fun)

... but, you're my hero.
Seriously, all the guys you've mentioned are all great candidates and sometimes it's hard to believe that none of them been able to dethrone Curtis. I'm almost certain that the dethroning will happen soon but it'd be nice if it could be one of us.

as for the fender roller, doesnt tire rack loan out their unit for free??? IIRC, it was the haweka fender roller, and all you have to do is pay shipping both ways...no rental fee, just the shipping charges- oh, and a refundable deposit...i'll try and give them a call tomorrow...would be cool to get a group to chip in for the shipping charges and have a fender-rolling day...i also have access to a heat gun, so no worries there...

Sorry for the stupid question, but how do you roll your fender? I've never seen it done and don't know what the tool looks like.
With that said, if I had had access to a fancy tool, I would have gladly paid $75 to use it.

Make sure to look us up while you're in town. Keep us posted on your travel date.
I wish I had known about the fender rolling before I turned it in to the shop for painting.
I'm sure there is a speed shop on the island that has this fender roller, seeing that it's only $495. I wonder what they charge you to do it?
Also, what happens to the plastic fender liner? does this conform to the rolled lip, or do you have to cut away at it?
