Question about fender rolling and pricing??

How much did everyone pay for their fender rolling and did you need it?

Right now if i put one person in my back seat, i'll rub around corners or over bumps.

I got a quote for $50 a fender here at a local shop (same place that did my tints) and it seemed high, but they guarantee their work for no cracking in the paint, so i have a feeling im just going to do it next week...

So do you rub and how much did it cost you?

50 bucks a fender is the normal going rate around here for a good job with gauranteed no paint chips.

i personally rolled my fenders on all of my own vehicles(not as hard or bad as everyone thinks). IIRC, i have a eastwood fender roller. the good thing about having your own fender roller? it pretty much pays for itself once you do a couple jobs

z springs out back may give you a squatted look or sagging in the back plus a choppy/bouncy ride

DIY, I did mine with 2" PVC pipe and heat gun, too me 30 min to do both rear fenders. I didnt really need it, 4 people in the car on coupe rear springs no rubbing. Trust me its VERY easy to do, if you take your time it will be fine. Accordfreak had a write up on here but I cant find it.
