1)Heat gun and a hammer
2)Fender rollers; they can be expensive in most cases, but the price pays off.
3)ETC

This is what I did. Paint chipped though. I also used the heat gun and phonebook method as well, it worked out pretty well. Some places around my area rent out fender rollers for like $50 for 2 days, it's a lot better than paying $200/fender.

i was heavilly thinking about going back to CA to get it done, kinda kills 2 birds with one stone, get to go home and get my fenders rolled for cheaper. but i really do want to get so me experience with the tool. thanks about the tip about renting!!!!!!!

Mob Customs here in Vegas rolled mine. They did a good job but the paint did chip. I don't know of any Lexus owners that had their fenders rolled without them chipping...eventually
