I have buddies who have them, but will the job be good or will it be bad? Is it a simple type of task?

As far as a I know, they're all the same type of machine. A plate bolts to the hub and has an adjustable roller on an arm.

Look up some videos online about how to use them. Be sure to use a good heat gun to avoid cracking your paint. Even if it's minor cracking, it could still lead to rust. Put wide electrical tape on the area to be rolled.

Make sure you remove the rubber trim on the wheel well, and pull out the plastic clips that are embedded in the metal. If you don't, they could poke through the metal and leave impressions.

Just take your time and do it right. It's a pretty simple process.

I'll take my car to my local tuner shop because if I crack my paint, I would be LIVID!

If you haven't bought the coilovers yet. Look into the cxracing ones. Them seem to be jus fine as well. Fender rolling isn't hard. It's jus Hella time consuming.

I would have gotten coilovers by now, but I'm getting my front bumper repainted, and I'm also getting all my dents PDR and a big dent in the rear fixed.

I'm also planning to do some interior stuff, I want a new head unit.
