In need of someone experienced to help me roll my sedan rear fender for my coupe 19"s. Does anyone know of a shop or a person in NorCal who can assist?

Thanks in advance.

I need to roll mine as well. You can rent a tool to do it:

Is this the best option? Anyone want to chip in have a little mini-meet to get this done at the same time?

I might be interested in getting mine rolled too. I'll probably get the coupe 19's down the road.

I might want to roll mine also if some of us get together.I have coupe 18s on the Z suspension and they rub a little when cornering with passengers in the back.

Contact International Autobody in San Bruno. Ask for John or Steve, and let them know that Boris sent you.

They work closely with a Porsche tuning shop and roll fenders for all of their racecars. They also did a perfect job rolling the fenders on my G35 and my other cars...

Their # is 650-871-5453

Good question. I've heard ppl cutting but don't know the pros and cons doing that comapred to rolling.

I need to do one or the other with my coupe b/c of the drop I'm running with my Cusco Zero2's.

I always prefer rolling. If you're doing it with somebody who doesn't roll properly, it's dangerous as the paint can chip/crack. If you get your fenders rolled by a shop that knows what they're doing, heats up the fenders and uses the right tools, I think it's safer. I wouldn't want the risk of a dremel against my fenders, and I certainly wouldn't want the decreased structural integrity.

Hey...thanx again.
My personal thought on cutting was still having the possible chance of rubbing on the cut edge in hard cornering, etc.
Tires in rotation don't like metal edges.

Sounds like your guy is the one to go to for rolling.

you don't need to roll the fenders for a sedan with coupe 19"s, unless you lower it.
