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

Fender rolling is easy, maintains the structure of the fender, and you have a smooth surface if your tire happens to hit your fender.
Why would you suggest not to roll?
Many people have shaved their fenders without any problems. To each his own I guess. Rolling a fender causes stress cracks in the paint later on, the panels will not dent that easily, we are not talking about drop-kicking them. 
I can gladly back it up, if anyone wants to offer their shaved fenders for me to lean on the I can gladly put a dent in it. Not to mention when you shave if you rub you are likely to slice up your tire.

I bet you my shaved panels are just as smooth and safe as they where OEM. Stop over and touch them. I have yet to cut my hand washing the car they are smooth as butter
Again I am speaking from experience on 2 newer model Lexus vehicles. Older ones you can roll the fenders but I will never roll my fenders again.
Everyone can do what they want here. I am just sharing live experience. Anyone wants to stop over and check mine out please do

And I have seen panels on friend's cars dent when they leaned on them, and when their tire hit them after shaving.
ask the ones that saw my IS350 and got to touch it in person

ill roller ask Gytis as I am not the body shop expert. He can explain all you need to know or want to know He can tell you what was done to my car since he did the work
EDIT:
here is another great member to ask about this:

I was trying to find pics of his car as his panel is 100% gone and he has a boosted GS!! No problems and he has had his for a long time.
