The title of this thread did not bring fenders immediately to mind

Then again some of us grow a pair and give it a shot! Enthusiasts tend to DIY rather than take it to the shop.

And I def understand your point. I installed a few things on my car vs taking it to a shop.

What I meant to originally post was "Do it if you have the right tools, and if you dont take it to a shop"

I learned the hard way on previous cars that altering something that can affect resale value usually should be done by a professionals. Just my opinion.

I did mine on the spot(side street) after leaving the tire shop..rubber mallet and baseball bat..no heat. I had no choice since the tires(new) were rubbing like Mother flounder and I needed to get to work.

Dude-

It's a bit of a drive, but I am located in Vermont and will be borrowing a buddy's roller - A "Max Generation II Fender Roller"
http://www.gtfactory.jp/cms/page.php?10

I will be rolling my G sometime in a week or two. If you are serious about doing it yourself, you're more than welcome to join. I have a two car bay so I will be using my heat gun and rolling them myself. If interested, hit me up, more than welcome to join in and do it yourself the *right* way with a professional roller.
