Kenji, If you just use a regular hammer and TAKE YOUR TIME, you can usually do a lot better job putting a lot less stress on your fender. I have done every car I have ever owned and have yet to chip the paint other than on the backside of the fender. I just did my Qs last weekend.

Don't cheap out and do the Honda/Nissan DriFtz0R method by using a hammer or bat. Go to a good shop and pay for the work to be done RIGHT. Unless you want uneven bends and cracked/stripped paint that is PM Marc (audi2nr) and ask where he got his done.

Kenji, come down to Drift Office and we can roll your fenders for you, however I would caution you that it might damage your paint on your fenders.

Usually if you heat up the paint it will be fine, correct?

You can also try giving JMI Motoring a call 360-403-1683. If they can make a convertible xb

I'm sure they can roll some fenders. Thats where me and audi2nr got out paint and stuff done although I am not sure if they rolled audi2nrs fenders there

Just cut them with an electric saw, and then have them sanded and touched up with paint. I did this with my Civic back in 94'

Check with and auto parts store like advanced auto, they rent tools. THey might have a fender roller you can use. I've read somewhere that it's also good to heat the part your rolling so hte paint doesn't flake/chip.
