I dropped it off on Tuesday, but my under wings won't be in until the end of the month. I'm just looking to have everything on before zdayz, and I've got to save up a little bit to go phantom.

You can save you pennies with 19s. I'll trade you mine for the RPF1s

I have wanted RPF1s forever and love the gunmetal, but haven't taken the plunge on buying them new from a vendor.

Yeah, before I could wiggle a finger's width...now I can't get a finger without going at an angle. Somewhat a subtle change, but exactly what I need to even up the stance and close the gap.

I will replace my rear tires in 3-4000 miles with 305s, so I will definitely need my fenders rolled. Anyone know a good deal in Atlanta for fender rolling? I don't want to risk cracking my paint.

Oakos. I am pretty sure they are the only ones who have gunmetal.

I did my own. only had 1 tiny crack appear. 30 seconds of sanding and a dab of touch up paint and its gone.
I split the cost of renting a fender roller with 2 friends. Neither of them had any cracks. I would be crack-free if I kept the fender warmer. It was a cold day and I didnt get the heat gun all the way to the back like I should have.

Anyway, my point is: You have just as much chance of cracking your paint with a "pro" than just doing it yourself
