hey i got ur pm wdp. thanks man.

ive seen vexmotorsports on craigslist... but its not in the city.... kinda far to get fenders rolled.... im rethinking my setup right now and plan to get some coilovers..so ill be "slammed" like wdp415... haha

i got it done at exact. pretty much anywhere that advertises fender rolling can be trusted, its really easy to do. just call them and ask if they use a heatgun. if they hesitate to answer, they dont know what theyre doing. MAKE SURE THEY USE ONE

I do have a roller, but don't like to do them. For other peoples car that is. It's more of a personal tool now. You can also get a dremel and cut the fender. Also check craigslist for a rental.

Most of the rubbing is probably coming from the rear bumper tab.

wow, that's a pretty impressive roll!

u got it down pretty flat, did u use a rubber mallet by any chance? Or just the fender roller?

DigiBox

The roller will get it pretty flat. Just have to keep working it.

My friend and I rolled our fenders the other day with a couple of progressively thicker wooden dowels and finished it off with an inch and a half PVC pipe. All bought at the Home Depot. Used a heat gun to get the fender warm to the touch and just rolled it by driving the car forward and backward. Turned out great and no paint chippage. Total cost, not more then $10.

+1 For Charbel. Had my front fenders shaved and height adjusted. Very knowledgeable and skilled.

Winks415

Very good reputation in bimmer forums and has experience on working with our cars.

nivekov

+1 for Vex. Anthony Lezada does some pretty good work as well

ChineseGuyinthe415

Just to follow up on this, I actually went to Charbel to get a fender roll today and he's a really cool guy. He owns a shop in Redwood City right off of Seaport. I had my rears rolled and it took about 1-1 1/2 hours.

Remember to eat before because all they really have within a walking distance is a Quiznos and some taqueria. Did a pretty good job, no cracking of the paint on the fender or anything
