If you go to tech 3 ask for paul and say adrian with the tl sent you
If you go to vex ask for jesse/herb and say adrian with the tl sent you
If you go to Exact Motorsports in Milpitas, you'll get a job well done.

^ whenever you pull fenders, i dont care what the shop says or who's doing it, there is no guarentee that they will come out perfect. I'd recommend doing it yourself...just be patient.

i dont have the tools to do it... otherwise i'd try and attempt it.
trying to find a shop that has done a few pulls so they know what they're doing and can do a relatively smooth job. i know its not gonna be perfect, but something thats relatively smooth will work for me. guess i'll have to go to sonicMS to do it...

how much do you need to pull? just fit some rims on my roomates 3gs...10+6 which is already aggressive for the car as it is but he got the wrong size tires...245/35/19 so it was a pain fitting it..we pulled the fenders about 1.5" on each side with some vietnamese magazines, a pry bar, and a heat gun. toyota and lexus are notorious for being hard to pull as well..

me personally, id just youtube how to pull fenders with a heat gun and a phone book at go for it. i dont know of any shops in the area that really specialize in this or have enough experience doing it where it would lower the possibility of cracking paint enough to constitute paying someone to do the same thing youll do at home..all it takes is patience
