Default Fender Rolling Shops

Hello all,
I am looking to get my fenders rolled, i was just wondering if anyone knew of a good fender rolling shop. I am located in Ellicott City so if there are any shops in MD/NOVA would be great. Thanks in advance!

Angie

I roll fenders for $80, what size wheels/tires/offsets are you looking to put on? Ive done 3 Z's local and a few other cars, never had issues.

+1 Berto did a great job on my fenders. No paint cracks whatsoever. Took a little less than a hour for both fenders. Put my spacers on about a month ago and no rubbing issues.

Thanks for the kind words karl. Angie drives a G, it will be my first one, so I'll be extra careful. As long as the inner G fender doesnt have the pinch welds on the edge (the Z doesnt have that) it will be easy. If I think I cant do it without damage, I wont do it

Sorry for the dumb question but what exactly is fender rolling? I know it allows the car to sit lower and run different offsets but not actually sure what is changed...

I dont use a baseball bat lol. I use a tool that goes on your hub, that has an adjustable arm with a roller on the end. After heating up the fender you slowly apply pressure and move the tool back and forth until you reach the desired roll. If your really interested in it, look up a thread I started in wheel/tire forum where I posted pics of the tool on my Z.
