Getto Fender Rolling?!
That's what I did on my GS. It was only a very mild roll though so no need to have an expert do it. You really have to be careful and take your time because you could chip off paint by flexing the metal too hard. You could have a shop do it but many of them have a disclaimer stating that they are not liable if the paint should chip, etc. during the rolling.

It can be done, but you should have a lowered car to try it. I did it on my Grandma's Camry. I put some pretty little Lexus take-off's on her car, but the fenders needed to be rolled. It did not work out to well. I found out later that the gap between the wheel and the car needed to be a little smaller for it to work properly.
forsure, i was thinking about hammering that sucker back too how do you guys think about that? or where can i rent a roller? is it hard to roll? i have a mild rub when i take people in the car for my fronts when i turn. =( my tires are taking the hit for me everytime =(

honestly u can roll it with just about anything, Bat's, Pipes of differnt diam, but i think a wooden bat is the best. Paitiance is the only key to having it done nicely, either you spend alot of time rollin it back and forth till u get it where u want, or if u choose to go with a shop, make sure they are very paitiance people cause dents, chips and kinks happend if u or they try to pull it out to much all at once.
If you dont know what your doing with it, dont experiment on your lexus. I actually had someone do mine that claimed that they had rolled hundreds of fenders, but he jacked it all up. I kinda won my court case, but thats another story.
There is a place in San Diego called Auto Fashion I think, try them as they are supposed to be great!
