Fender Rolling/trimming in South Florida?

Does anyone in the south florida area (preferably closer to WPB) know of any good reputable body shop that does good fender rolling?

I just bought some TL rims and am lowered so I will need to roll these guys.

If anyone on the forum does the rolling i could drop them a few $$.

Thanks guys.

^ werd, DO IT YOURSELF! anywhere is gonna charge you at least $75 a fender when all you need is a wooden handle off something like a broom.

read. http://www.diyautomods.com/forum/showthread.php?p=133

instead of the tool, just use a broom handle.

I'm just worried about doing damage to the outside of the fenders, I saw a dude on here with some bends and cracks on the outside.

That would NOT be a good turnout. lol

Be sure to use a heat gun on the outside of the fender to soften the paint and clear coat, so the paint doesn't crack from the stress of the bend on the inside lip! Seen it happen before and it is not a pretty thing bro!
