Default Fender Rolling? DFW?

Does anyone know where to get the fender roll? I need to find out where would be a good quality shop to go to in the DFW area? and any ideas on prices as well? I've heard that a lot of people had done it themself, is it that easy to DIY? I just don't want to screw anything up!! Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!

you are basicall y bending the flange in so you have another 1/4" clearance or so.. so looking at a cross section you take the fender from this: L

to this: |

i dont know how hard this is, but if you are careful and take your time im sure it wouldnt be too difficult

so u got the BIG volks

Yeah, I think if I could find a good DIY instruction, then I might give it a try. So far, from what I understand that without rolling the fender, it shouldn't cause rubbing, but since I lower mine .5 inches, to be just on the safe side, I thought I go ahead and get the fender roll. Do you want to help out? hee hee hee...
Yes, I couldn't help it to get the BIG Volks!! Especially in Gold, I think it will be a lot unique with the DB, to give that JDM looks! What do you think? at first I was going to go with the Gunmetal, then I change it to Mercury Silver, but someone talk me into the GOld.
Oh yeah, Josh, when I get my clearstripe for my headlight from Ares, You want to come and help out, maybe we could created a good clear DIY instruction on it? what do you think?

Tony,

I don't think you need to roll your fenders. Good choice on wheel btw. There's another Tony/Anthony that has a PPW Z w/ the gold SF Challenges. Anyways if you really want to do it yourself, I can show you how. I've done it on my previous cars.

Cool! thanks Will! I won't do it right away yet, since I won't have the wheels for another few months or so. But I will definitely give you a call, maybe we could meet up for lunch on the weekend or something!

p.s. So you think it's good ideas with Gold wheels on DB? or should I go with Mercury silver?

Gold is pretty underrated I think. I myself am going to order the gold GT-C's in 20" for my car. Yeah we can meetup on the weekend when you get the wheels in.

check out this Daytona with Gold G-games! Let me know what do you think? I think I might still change it Mercury Silver, but I won't do it until I photoshop one to see how it would look. I want to make sure I get something that I will still love it after many years!

I think I have just change my mind, I change the order and went with the Mercury Silver instead. I love both colors, but I think for the long run I won't get sickin tired of the Silver. Especially after asking millions of people for opinions, almost 99% of people agreed that Mercury Silver looks better than Gold. Thanks everyone.

I have 19x9.5 fronts and 19x10.5 rears with 245/35-19 front tires and 275/35-19 rear tires, lowered with RS*R springs and I get no rubbing at all with the fenders....

I was told by many people that it shouldn't rubb, because my spring only drop .5 inch, But I thought about plan it out first just in case. If it does rub, then I will know who to go to.
Thanks for the advice, James!
The weather kind of sucks this few days! I just totally wax it last week, Now it's all looking filthy again!

Really? TX! but my friend has that set up and he's running 285/30/19 in the rear, so far he doesn't have any problem of rubbing? But he's car is not lower. Also, what size of tire would you suggest running with that set up? and it will be my daily driver, But I don't travel far
