Default $ roll fenders and rear ?

Curious as to how much everyone has paid to get their renders rolled. I will most likely have to roll the fronts and rear.
Thanks for any feedback!

they say that shaving is so much better. I think I need to buy a grinder. I want to do it myself.

sounds like agressive work. shaving is for the plastic under the metal right?

the rear is easy just cut a bunch of relif slits in the lip but not too close to the edge of the fender then slowly bend them inward when complete use some touch up paint if the paint flaked off very easy just take your time and do it right

The rear fender lips are double metal thickness, not like front fenders. Not gonna be that ez.

Shaving is the preferred method, starting with post #58.

With the right offset and shaving done to the max you can get 295 size tires on 20 x 11 rims with absolutely no rubbing.

be careful not to shave to much. That fender metal does serve a purpose.

There is a tool that my friend has that you attach to your hub and it is very easy to roll fenders that way. It's safe and efficient with no worries of paint chip ever. This is the same tool that alot of shops use when rolling fenders. I'll see if I can ask him to lend it to me when I head to Atlanta the next time and maybe we'll just have a SELOC fender rolling day..

As mentioned above the metal on the GS is double thickness, but yes on some cars the fender lip is quite weaker when you remove the lip and rolling would be stronger.
