Any experience rolling rear fenders on LS430?
I'm posting this here because it's directly related to wheels/tires/suspension, and this is probably the forum where people are most likely to have experience with this type of thing.
Have any of you rolled the rear fenders on your LS430? Perhaps experiences with the LS400 are relevent too, but the reason I ask about the 430 is that the lips (once you remove the black screw-on trim piece) slope inward and downward towards the differential instead of just straight inward like most cars (not sure about the LS400). I was thinking of rolling the lips instead of grinding them, but I'm concerned that the combination of the relatively thick fender material and the fact that they would have to be rolled "over-center" due to the downward slope might be more likely to result in a creased fender, which I would consider an absolute disasterous result. I'm thinking that the safe thing is to just grind them. Any experience on rolling them?
Thanks.

i kinda know what you talking about, i have looked at the ls430 once (and dealt a lot with gs and sc430). i really suggest shaving (grinding), that's what i did on the gs430 and i could do it all the way to the edge no problem and no paint chips at all as long as you do it carefully
