Default Fender Rolling in Bay Area

I searched local forums and came about Alex and James' recommendations of William's Autobody, with which I'm familiar with from the show scene, but does anyone know any personal references to GOOD places to get my 350Z rear fenders rolled? I'm looking for a place that does a damn good job, heat gun and patience and all that good stuff.

Rolled fenders, NOT pulled fenders...I just want that little inner tab to be rolled in at least 45degrees; doesn't even have to be rolled flush flat against the inside fender.

the negative i see in cutting is that when stretched tires rub against the fender, the sharp cut will slice into the tire...when you roll, it simply chirps and rubs the tire slowly...kinda like prolonging the inevitable

when you roll...there's a high chance the paint will crack......

better yet, take your fenders off and roll like that. You're so slammed you'll start losing body panels anyways...lol...

heck no, widebody is cheating, I wanna go wide wheels with stock body! JDM STREET FTW!!! Besides, this puny VQ will be even slower with the widebody...as if the wheels won't already slow it down enough...

12" rears, son!!! haha! If I crack paint when rolling, I'm gonna respray the fenders, I'm not tripping if that is the problem, but when you cut...that's IT, it's cut, there is no going back...

Anyone know what type of equipment I should buy. If I plan on cutting my inside fenders instead of rolling them.
