Default Gytis shaved my fenders

I took my Isf to Gytis for a fender shave because of a recommendation from Mike/passnu2 and all I can say is the guy is a genius he did an incredible job for a good price I couldn't be any happier

I have known Gytis and his brother for many many years. They are experts in the automotive field and subsequently have careers within this genre. Gytis has helped me many times with minor car issues. Having the art/gift of body work is rare. Especially, with the advent of three stage paint and metallics.

Just make sure no one leans on your fenders ever again... Those inner lips that you shaved are structural.

can you back this up please. I saw your other post that its better to roll the fenders I happen to try this on my last Lexus after calling many shops to find only one to say yes and I found out the hard way to NEVER roll panels on a Lexus I will vouch from personal experience and DO NOT suggest anyone to roll the fenders. Past Lexus and mainly older SC's this worked on but doesnt anymore

Shave away FTW

ill roller, i do think you have the wrong impression about shaving fenders, I don't think you've ever seen a RIGHT fender(quarter) shave, It seems like you are basing your opinion on a hacked fender shave job. From my job experiece i have both shaved and rolled fenders and overall on my cars I chose to do shaving, It took me awhile to figure out how to do it right, but after i did that I am able to achieve the best OEM looking job without sacrificing any structual integrity. Every person has their own opinions and if you like rolling fenders then keep on rolling them.
