I havent actually heard of anyones paint cracking when rolling their fenders, has anyone heard about this or experienced it first hand? Im thinking i just might cut mine. Anyone Recommend good places that will either roll or cut fenders by 626 (West Covina) area?

 

if the shop is good and your car is new enough.. it shouldn't crack, that being said a shop called ef1 in long beach did my car and cracked my paint on 1 side :[

 

what are the downsides of cutting the fenders if any? is it musch easier for the shop to do this, less chance of them f***n up my car?

 

i rolled my own fenders and a bit of paint cracked on one side. it happened because i didn't heat up the fender enough. if you're in the 626 area, just check out the wheel supply (TWS). they're in rowland heights. look for sanders or simon, they're all cool.

you can also cut it, but it needs to be smoothed out and coated to prevent rusts. one thing about cutting it is that it's a lot sharper and if it contacts your tires in motion, is more likely to slice into it.

 

I dremeled mine and then touched up with OEM paint. Looks like it came from the factory. Nice and clean.



If you are not comfortable doing it... hit up Street Image in Baldwin park (10 fwy, just east of the 605)

Street image - 626-962-1503 ask for Dru and tell 'em Ted sent ya.

 

dremeled? what is that process like? Does street image do fender rolling?

 

status cut mine. no issues here

 

when they cut them, is the fender sharp??

 

There's a guy on the boards that does it out of his garage...very professional and inexpensive...he even worked around a lot of the bondo work I had done around the gas door...

 

no they file it down so its smooth

 

+1

search for username daytona350z. his names anthony, super cool. might be like a 25 min drive for you though, but he'll do a good job and won't cost as much as other places.

 

yeah i was referred to him by other members, but i think i wanna cut mine cuz im afraid of the cRACKING. i have an 05' dont know if the paint can handle it?

 

it shouldn't be a problem. he's very professional about it and will heat up the fender before working on it. he just rolled/pulled one of my buddies' 03 track edition.

 

Sander is no longer with TWS. Ask for Albert, he'll take care of you. You may also try Vision Autosports in Hacienda Heights. He is affliated with Dazz Motorsports. Ask for James and tell him Eric send you. Believe its 120 for all four.

 

sanders is no longer with TWS? damn..

vision in hacienda is cool too, they mounted my tires for me.

 

so for shops rolling or cutting is just as easy, either or?

 

YESSIR! Sander is no longer with them

haha, vision mounted my tires too....

 

Anthony is in Newport Beach, he did an awsome job on rolling my fenders for really good price. When I was there there were several members getting it done 2.

 

+1 for Vision or Street Image (they're both T4T07 sponsors)
