Default Fender rolling around RI

I've been looking to get my fenders rolled and a few friends recommended a shop in Boston that did it for them and they were very happy with the results. So I go there this past weekend and upon them looking at the fenders they told me they wouldn't/couldn't do it for me. They said the lip was too narrow for them to roll or shave and would either cause the fender to crack or warp. I told them that there are many guys with IS-Fs and IS's in general who have had this done to their fenders with no problems at all. They still said they wouldn't do it. I'm happy that they were honest about it and didn't want to potentially damage my car, but I am also a little annoyed because I know a lot of you guys have had it done.

So where have you New England guys gone to have them done?

Rent a fender roller on ebay and do it yourself. It's what I did. Worked well and if I remember correctly it cost around $50. Make sure you heat up the paint with a heat gun but it still might crack a little bit, nothing major. I just went over where it cracked with touch up paint and you don't even notice.

Take it some where else and just have them shave it. I'm guessing it was CYA on the behalf of the other shop bc they didn't want to cut up your pretty car.

Ended up going to a place in North Providence called Enstyle Rides. Nice place, the guy that did it said he's been doing it for 12+ years. Fenders were rolled perfectly in about 1.5 hours for $150.
