I dont think a cutting will work for me. Im sure I will need to roll and pull for the set-up I'm going to have. Rolling it is then!!!!

Quote: I was looking to purchase the fender roller from eastwood, but for $250 it's not really worth it. HKS350, does that thing really work? I think I'm with iSuxeL and Wierdazndu on this one. I will be doing this shortly before my wheels arrive. Maybe I'll do a right on how to cut your fenders with pic. hahaha!
If i had to go back I would have cut. The reason is their are two pieces of metal that are seem sealed together. To roll you have to shave the seem sealer off and bend back the upper (top) piece of metal before rolling the outer metal. All of this while heating the paint to prevent cracking. Cutting is just easier on the 2IS. But mine's rolled now LOL

^^^ In the pic above you can still see the lump of seem sealer. That has to be removed to access both layers of metal.

How much more or less clearance will I have for wheels with shaved or rolled? Which will provide more clearance?
