does anyone know where to get fenders rolled for cheap in the bay area? better to be in san francisco or san bruno etc...thanks

 

yea i would like to know too so i can drop my ride lower...

 

from looking at ur avatar pic, it looks pretty low? i think youll be "slammin" it...

 

guess no one has rolled their fenders here in the bay area

 

theres plenty of places. im only familiar with the south bay...VEX Motorsports in San Jose or Exact Motorsports in Milpitas.

 

thanx decafe1...where did you get yours done?

 

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.

 

^ can you help me roll my fenders? cant get the wheels on unless my fenders are rolled. Or you can let me barrow it.

 

immauser I found a guy in San Francisco off the Bimmerfourm that does fender rolling. He quoted me $150 to do all 4 fenders on My 06 TL

going friday. i'll let you know how it goes and will post some pics.

 

thanks for the info. i dont know if i plan to roll mine anymore since my coilovers are stiff, so i hardly rub compared to my old setup......i may give them a call depending on if i have time.

wdp415, post pics when you're done!

Let me know if you have any questions, my contact info is in one the earlier posts.

 

this guy is legit...time to drop the ride a little more

and yes i know my car is hella dirty lol

 

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?

 

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

 

Man that is a pretty good job of rolling...

You goto the eastbay to roll fenders? In Pleasanton area...

 

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.

 

Pleasanton? Maybe you wanna try Impact Engineering... they are next to the Great Mall in the South Bay... they usually do Bimmers. impact-engineering.com

 

+1 for Vex Motorsports. They did mine. DecaFe referred me over to them.

 

i got mines done at vex also

 

how much to get the fenders rolled for our 3G TLs at Vex Motorsports?

 

75 for a pair or 130 for all 4

 

Hey WDP415,
Does he know how to pull as well and does a smooth job where it pretty much look'd stock? No Paint Chip, Damage, Peeling and fender damaged...

Do you have pictures of his work?

 

nevermind I see this post now haha my bad...

 

Here's a local shop near me that's charging $25 per. it's about 40-45 minutes away from SF if you aren't familiar with the Santa Rosa.

Zankoku Performance
3130 Coffey Lane
Santa Rosa, Ca. 95403
(707)393-7503

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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
