WOW $50 to roll your own fenders? Nice find, I never knew that loaner service existed. It's a great price and looks to be an easy DIY!

I used to have a car in the 90s with fat tires and a crazy offset that rubbed my fenders. If I had a full load, my car would be practically dragging along at 10mph scrapping like crazy/ I had gouges in my tires. I had a shop fix my fenders. Rolling was not enough though....These guys SANDED that whole lip away (Save a few mm) and patched and painted like new. You couldn't tell what was done from the outside and the tires never rubbed again. Don't recommend that though, stick to rolling.

Who me? I don't need it, I have A-Spec 18s. The guys with 20"+ and wide tires or some guys with offsets past 35 or others who have their Teins set lower than 2" might need this. Lots of my friends have asked about this, now I know where to send them.

very carefull rolling your own fenders fellas... it's real easy to mess up... take your time and do a small section at a time... heat up the fenders to the right temp too...

Good Luck...

That's still cheap. Shops usually get an easy $200 on this.
