Anyone get their fenders rolled?

![Question](https://my350z.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Body shop called about the rear fenders, and they couldn't roll it without the paint cracking. They can roll it "flat" like the front fenders, but it'll require painting. The total cost with my bumper repair jumps from $820 to $1400! I had to avoid since I didn't plan on keeping the car too long.
Just wondering if anyone did this. I'm running 285/35r19 rubber with LE-37t +22mm offset.

There's a really good DIY here where someone used a PVC pipe & heat gun to roll their fenders. Although, I'd like a better (closer) look at the actual "rolled point," it looked fine from the pics.
We used to use baseball bats and blowdriers back when our cars were only worth $2-3k. With a $30k car...you have a very valid reason for pause before taking a pipe to your fenders. I know, I do.

Really? He says the paint was "bubbling" out due to stress and the lines of the car. They're already charging $160 for both sides, so I'm not sure why they'd complicate things. [sigh]
I'll keep you guys updated. I'll probably pick up my car tomorrow after having the rear bumper repaired and repainted.

Get them cut. Its much cheaper, you get more clearance, and as long as a little bit of the fender is lefton, it wont degrade structural integrity. I did that, and also painted the inside of the fender with anti oxidizing paint to prevent any rust.

I did my friends with a wood baseball bat last weekend and didnt have a problem with cracking. He car is getting repainted so we didnt bother with the heat gun. Either way it didnt crack.
