Default Rolling rear fenders question

I just took my car to the only shop in my town that rolls fenders and they told me the rear fenders might not look good if rolled due to the rubber protection It has. Has anyone had a problem with this?

Hello, they obviously don't know why they're talking about. Everyone does it on IS's including myself. Are you talking about the small strip of rubber on the edge or rubber coating in the wheel well?

The coating on the edge of the lip. He said he could do it but he's not responsible if it turns out wavy. He said he did a car with the same rubber strip and it caused waviness . He might just be trying to cover his self in case of a mess up, idk.

Just did mine.. I did not roll them completely flat so I'm not sure if it would cause an issue of being wavey. Mine did crack along the rubber where the two panels are joined. Its only visible from inside the wheel well looking up and out..

It shouldn't wave or cracks the paint if the guy do it right. If he said that before he started the job u should've went somewhere else. Just make sure to put some touch up paint on the cracked paint to prevent it from rusting. I rolled my completely flat but no Crack paint or wavey

So you're telling me NO other vehicles he has ever rolled fenders on have such rubber? Wow Lexus, going the extra mile! LOL!

I'd say find another shop to roll them where they feel more confident in their work.
