Default Before & After Fender Roll Pics

So I've had this car for "almost" a week now, and I was just fed up with not being able to lower the back... I took some time to go and see a friend of mine down in Miramar FL and asked him to roll my rear fenders... Here are a few before and after pics... Tell me what you think

Quick specs:

HP 20" Rims. 20x9.5 rear (+32)
20x8.5 front

Tires: Nitto Invo 275/30/20 Rear
245/30/20 front

Cusco Coilovers

Did you cut the fender bead and roll it out? It doesn't look perfectly round from the corner shots, hence why I ask. The car looks a lot better now than before.

I wouldn't necessarily ask for your money back, but it's no where near perfect. Mine looks about the same though. If I ever get a full paint job I was going to smooth mine out with some body work aka bondo.

Did you pay this "friend" for the work?

We rolled them.. No cutting at all... The little tabs that hold the rubber piece on the fender is what caused the inconsistency of the roll... However, I have a PDR (paint less dent remover) that said it will be no problem to "smooth" it out...

I did... Maybe the pic was at a bad angle... Or bad lighting.. But here are some close-ups for reference... Its a simple fix for a PDR.. No bondo needed:

These HP's mimic the AC Schnitzer Type II wheels BMW guys are infamously in love with. The dish makes them look nice.

I'm very oddly attracted to your wheels, they look great and so does the color! Love it! Post some pics of the inside of the lip you got rolled.

Looks good to me. A fender roll is never going to come out 100% perfect unless its at the body shop before paint. Nobody is going to notice the tiny imperfections unless they sit there with a chair and stare at your car for hours. I like those wheels and the color of your car.

I like your car also looks good all around.

Your close up shots do show the imperfections ,I guess they arent that bad really.

For the record the only way to fix these imperfections is with body work , I dont know what 'PDR' is but I can pretty much guarantee the only way to properly repair them is with old fashion style body work.
