yeah i agree it should probably take more than 30 min for both.
Pulling is what i absolutely want to avoid and am afraid of though. I know the chances of warping your fender wall from a pull are a lot higher than from a roll.

i'm just sayin
it will take little longer than that hehehe
btw, rolling fender doesn't Pull your fender either..and I don't think you should pull the fenders unless you are willing to repaint your fenders
it will definitely crack the paints (outside)

yes it does. even if you try not to pull and do everything properly, you will still notice a tiny pull once you're done. Not sure if you've ever used a fender rolled, but you're constantly applying pressure to your fender when you roll the tab. Thus creating a tiny pull. Originally Posted by SeOuLiS250

It happened to me. I took my good old time rolling my fenders myself, applying heat when needed and you can't get away from it. But it doesn't bother me that they're pulled neither, it means that my next wheels will have an even lower offset

[QUOTE=moo_juice;4631343]did you use a dremel and method similar to the 2nd poster?[/QUOTE
I took my car to someone with experience in cutting fenders and rolling fenders
he has over 15years body work experience not only did he cut but he also sanded down the new cut smooth enough0 were if I run my finger on it it won't cut me or my tires He also primed the edge black and created a new lip around the cut leaving a clean off the factory look.....as for using a Dremel
? All I can say is they look awsome and that's coming from a very picky person......I'm gonna be taking pics of my car soon still wating on some wheels I'll make sure to take pics of the fenders and post them up.
