I rolled my fenders

:edit: this is before I lowered my car

so my rear tires wher getting cut up by the lip from the fender, hence the title of this thread. Well what do you guys think? To me it seems I may pushed the fenders outward in the process, Im glad.
Just so you all know I used a heat gun and a hammers handle. It took me 5 hours to do both sides. The paint has not chip at all.

I used the end of a hammers handle to roll mine. Once I warmed up the fender and paint I held the heat gun and the hammer handle at the same time thus keeping the heat on the paint while rolling. Gently bend the lip upward and pushing the fender out towards you. I cannot stress enough to TAKE YOUR TIME. I think that every bend was around 1mm at a time, I didnt try to roll it all at once. The whole process took me 5 hours. I also waited for a warm day, I wouldnt try this if you dont have a heated garage up north, it was over 80 degrees here today.
