just roll it now....the part that was removed would have made it harder to roll/pull anyways

I'd roll whats still there, carefully. Will keep some structural rigidity that way.

what are you guys talking about...the metal there is thick as hell.... much thicker than many other cars that i have rolled fenders with....trimming it making it easier to roll the fenders.

Trimming it more or rolling them is fine. Many people do both and its fine.

My fenders are trimmed and yes they are weaker. Only in the front though, the rear fenders are still solid as a rock.

I once put slits on the inside thinking it would take pressure off, big mistake after that I always paid to have them rolled and it worked out nice!
