Fender Rolling Day!
It's beginning to get a bit colder outside, but perhaps you're already thinking about the promises of spring and summer, like me. I'll be test fitting a set of rear wheels on November 19th knowing full well I will have to roll my fenders (17x9 +38), and I figured why not make a garage day?!
If this doesn't attract much attention I can always wait until spring and post the offer again as I won't be running these wheels until then anyways and I don't have to roll now, but let's see who's interested!

A special tool is used to form the lip of the fender up, against the inside of the fender. This does two things: 1. It provides crucial millimeters of clearance when running aggressive setups, and 2. It removes the sharp edge helping prevent tire damage if you do rub.
Your fenders will not need to be repainted, however on older cars the paint MAY be cracked. Heat is used to help against this, and most of the times the paint does not crack when the work is done properly, however, the risk is always there. Worst case scenario you have to use some touch up paint in an inconspicuous area.
Pulling is the same action as rolling, however instead of stopping when the lip is flat against the inner edge, you keep working and stretch the outside edge of the fender also.
A simple roll is not visible to the naked eye. A pull is.

Got my own Eastwood roller delivered today, also got an infrared temp gun & a variable heat gun. Going to try it on my buddie's G20 before going after my fenders 
I'd be up for a rolling day if it was closer...
