Does anyone here know how to roll the rear fenders some. And have a roller? And how much to do it. Thanks a lot.

get yourself two mini aluminum baseball bats. Tape off the exterior pain and then using the tire and a lever, prop the bat inside the gap and push it down so it smashes the lip upward. The other bat is to hold the outter fender metal in place.

Good luck.

Oh,
2 Baseball bats from walmart: $35
1 roll of blue tabe: $6
2 S2000 rear fenders: $1,000
DIY: priceless

I did this to a 70 El Camino once. I had to cut into the parts that needed to be rolled, then with one bat on the inside and one on the outside, pushed the pieces to be folded up while using the the other bat to hold the fender.

Came out great.

yeah my buddy daniel quanz has a fender roller. I think he usually charges like $40 a day to borrow it. get someone in on it and split the cost and do it together. I've rolled my fenders on the s and did en on the evo too and they came out good. all you'll need is the fender roller, a nice harbor freight $20 heatgun, and some patience.
