recommendations for fender work
Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has had fender work done and if so, what, where and how much?
I know there's guys who come around to roll your guards, but I'm thinking of buying or renting the guard roller and doing it myself. Anyone gone this route? Also, anyone running extreme stance and done shave before? |

What rim sizes are you going to go with?
You may wish to try and pump the guard a tad also? Shaving the guards are somewhat DIY if you take the time and use the right tools, but if you just want to roll the guards get the pros to do it as they have years of experience and whilst you may save yourself $50 DIY rolling if you crack the clear coat you will be up for a hefty respray of the entire rear quarter panel ($500+) |

19x9.5 fronts and 19 x 11 rears. ET +22 and +25 respectively. Yeah I'd like to pump the guard a bit but the fronts are plastic so they can't really be pumped right? Hence the possibility of maybe needing them shaved. I think you're right in getting someone do it professionally. I read some DIY guides with heat guns but would probably end up cracking the paint if I'm rolling beyond tolerances that someone with experience would know. |

Sounds like a varrosteon wheel.
If so there is heaps of threads on this fitment Majority of the guys just rolled and adjusted camber with the right size tyre. For the rears im pretty sure it was 265/30/19 on the 19x11 Alsofenders rolled should cost ya around $50 per corner. |

At $50 per corner, I'm not sure how much you guys expect prices to come down especially seeing that this is a service, not a product so the labour involved is the same?

That's very true. But never hurts in asking if he doesn't have to travel all over the place? Just like some car detailers offer discounts when doing several cars for a family or office in the one location, it saves them travel time |
