Default Anyone fender roll / cut?

just wondering if anyone here, preferably in Calgary can roll fenders or cut the lip rather then roll it?? Ive been told from another member on here that cutting the little lip instead of rolling it is safer and easier.

Anyone that can do this for me please PM me and let me know what this would cost me.

Thank you,

I heard cutting the lip will cause structural damage... This is what I've heard, don't know exactly how true it is. What rim size are you running? And how low will you be?

Jason Uyeda in the San Diego area merely rolled his fenders.....think he was running 18x10's in the back on his S2k....and 295 rubber in the rear and 285 fronts.

Screaming paint works can rent it out. That's where I rented one when I did my last s2000. They can also do it for you as well. But they will not guarantee that the paint will not crack/chip.

so whats the trick to not cracking / chipping the paint? time and heat? if thats the case I would almost rather do it myself and spend a lot of time to ensure that.

Not to rush it. And not to just use the pipe trick. hahaha
