I've tried to search these threads, but I'm not finding any useful information concerning a shop that will roll my fenders. If any of you guys have experience with body shops in Houston that will do this work well, with a heat gun and all, for a reasonable price, please let me know.

Or, if any of you have the fender rolling tool, or know somebody who does and would be willing to give me a hand, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I'll be getting my wheels and tires towards the end of next week, so I'd like to get this done befor then.

Thanks in advance.

 

I have 20x9s in the front on 255/30/20s and 20x10 in the back on 285/30/20s...I have no fender issues....didn't roll my fenders on the Z either. If you know they will rub, then roll them...if not, wait n see.

Call Jammers in houston. They are off of jeanetta between richmond and westpark. Great body shop....I bet they have the tool.

 

i just called jammers and they are no longer doing it to paint cracking issues is there anyone else that uses a fender roller to roll fenders in houston

 

Yep,
Awesome Z, up off of 59North...Little York Exit.

I have rolled several Z and G fenders. No matter what the paint is going to crack. The inner lip of the fender does not have a primered surface and the paint, even heated & painters tape applied, still cracks and chips. Good luck and just as a heads up on what you should expect. I used to charge around $100 for the service.

 

instead of rolling ur fenders just get them shaved. This way u know you won't have any paint cracking issues. everyone in my crew that has to get the fenders done we just get them shaved. just call up prestige motorsports (jason) at 281-831-6302 and he'll help ya out. hope this helps

 

i had mine rolled yesterday at a porsche race shop. it was done a little differant than what ive read on here. the tech had a baseball bat that was cut off about the last third and covered in black dense foam like plumbers use to insulate pipes. i didnt actually see how he did it, but he had me drive my Z forward real slow.. a few feet at a time, and then backwards a few feet... while he was back there with the bat working. we repeated this back and forth several times and when he said we were done i looked at them. no paint chipping and they are nice and smooth and look like they were made that way. im very satisfied.

 

It is easy to do with the fender rolling tool, that bolts onto the rotor. It uses a very dense polyrubber wheel that has multiple adjustment angles. It does not take long, but the shaving of the fender is a bad idea. The overall integrity of the fender strength is lowered. And you can get a very bad crease if hit or bumped slightly. I would still go with a proper rolling job..
