Stuart's over near the TI plant at 635 and 75... I've never used them, but I've know plenty of Dallasite's who swear by them.

Cheers,

Yeah, I called them already, but they won't do it.

if you do it yourself, use a heat gun or good hair dryer to warm the paint on the fender before and during the process... that will help it flex and not chip...

a buddy of mine in Austin used to rent his professional fender roller for a few bucks, plus a deposit on a credit card... I'll email him and see if he still is doing that....

Thanks guys, but I will probably want someone with good experienced and knowledge doing this for me. I don't want to take any risk doing it myself. But if you guys know someone, doesn't has to be a bodyshop, longest they are well experienced, know what they are doing, and done this before please let me know, I will pay him to do it for me.

Moog, so no paint chip at all? I went to new concept the other day and talk to Bruce, and he told me even if I shave my fenders it wont work, and his said that if I roll my fenders, my paint will chip off easy, b/c factory paint sux.

I didn't have problems on my Accord.

Holy crap you're running +12 offsets! Maybe it wasn't wise to get that type of offset because if Bruce says it won't work then He painted my Accord way back in like 96 & he just painted my Impul wing couple months back.
