Have any of you done this? Know where to get it done?
I know there is a tool that easily rolls the fenders I guess to be more uniform, but what kind of precautions should I look for. I have heard about cracked paint, bad bends in the panels. Will this occur with the proper tools?
I got the Dunlop Direzzas on and they are a lot more square than anticipated. I don't want to fork for new tires just yet.
Any input would be appreciated.

 

Coming from someone that is very into modding and such...dont roll your fenders.Shave the inner center lip and you will be much happier.Rolling can go beyond crack paint.Try having out of shape fenders -OR- having your 1/4 panels cave in on you.Any good body shop can shave off the little lip without messing anything up.

I have all 4 corners completely shaved.If you still wanna roll your fenders then ask Skyler on here about rolling them or Tristan "s2kpnoy" also.The s2k has mega sensitive fenders.Both of them had their 1/4 panels cave in on them aka fender buckle.

 

Alex is correct. If there is not a professional that has done fender rolling on a s2000 then shaving would be the ideal route to go. As stated, the rear quarter panels are extremely delicate. If too much force is exerted then the fender will buckle. Its time consuming as well because you have to make sure the paint is heated with a heat gun. Reason being, if you chose to roll it without that treatment then you risk chipping/cracking of the paint. What I would recommend is you running a few degrees extra camber. Especially if you don't intend on running aggressive offsets in the future. That should remedy the problem. If you do intend to run aggressive fitment wheels then I'd get my fenders shaved and sealed. Hope this works out for you!

 

I appreciate the input. I got my car back a few hours ago, and it looks like I may get by without any modifications to the panels. I have a pretty high/hard spring rate, so I don't think I get as much movement as anticipated if that makes sense.
Glad I asked though, because it seems all to often someone is willing to "help out" and in the long run, not do any favors whatsoever.
Again, I appreciate all the input you guys here in Houston have given me, I am really liking the way the car is turning out. Aside from the $$$$ anyways.

 

Your welcome bud. Post up some pics!

 

I'll wash the car in the AM and do just that.

 

Fantastic!

 

Wash it? No way. Your car is one of the cleanest I have seen in a long time.

 

I was telling my old lady today when we picked it up how dusty and dirty it was. She says the same as you do, but I guess I am picky that way about how it looks.

Either way, I'll try to get some pics up tomorrow.

 

What's a fair price to have all four fenders shaved and sealed? Also, what does that mean--shaving and sealing?
