I have my fenders rolled. There's actually a lot of room now, and I plan to get camber arms to reduce negative camber and make my wheels more flush. My camber is -2.4. I want to be around -1.8 if I can lol
Here is a pic where you can see it better:

Love the sways 
It feels more planted / flatter in corners. You feel a little more of the road imperfections though - but its not bad at all.
As for the install, it wasn't bad - it helps if you have a second person.
The only trouble I had was getting the rear sway bar off the end links ... I had to take out the end links with the sway bar and remove them after. Re-installing the links was a little PITA. If you have access to a lift it would be much easier (more leverage).... I'm at 90k so the bolt was on there pretty good.
Front was fairly easy - hardest part was removing all the pastic panels....
