Default Cost to roll fenders ?

First i wasn't able to find a shop willing to roll my fenders. Now that ive found one their charging 130 PER fender. $520 to roll my fender seems a bit outrageous.

Im in Oxford, MS about 40 minutes from memphis. Im contemplating taking a 5 hour trip to ATL and getting it done. Unless someone closer is able to do it for less.

Better off renting one on eBay and DIY. Isn't that hard to do with a heat gun 2hrs max if you take your time. I did a pull and roll on mine first time. No crack or chips if you take your time.

Same.


I'd find a local car forum and find a random guy doing it in his garage for cheap. Make sure you read reviews though, so you know the person won't damage your paint.

You guys know anyone in the Memphis atl area that would be willing to do it ? I'll just go visit a friend in atl and get my fenders done as well.

Why did you role at stock height . I'm running the same tire and I'm dropped on coilovers with no rub.

I'd ask this question in the regional section of CL or start calling shops in ATL.
