fender rolling

Does anyone know a good company/shop that can roll fenders?

Though it seems I've fixed this myself, I'm also interested in knowing.

Honestly, haha, I didn't expect it to work. Well the front at least. I have 205, 7-inch wide tires. For the back, which was rubbing so much I couldn't move without pulling teeth, I had actually cut out the problem metal and bumper mounting material with a grinder. For the front, which only rubbed during some turning and bumps, I removed the uppermost plastic clips, pushed the plastic upward as much as I could, squeezed all those metal mounting points for the plastic with my hands so they were as high as possible, and then pulled a bit on the fenders, which was actually just for the heck of it. I heard a cracking sound so I didn't pull too hard. Oddly it worked. I haven't heard a peep from the tires since.

I heard on beyond that the body shop called Maranello just off of centre street does really good work. I emailed them yesterday, I'll let you know what they say.

Apparently no dice, they said they don't do fender rolling and pulling any longer but there was another recommended shop that I'll call today, so there's still hope!

this might sound weird, but see if there are any s chassis drifter folks around where you live. I rolled the fenders on my S14, and a lot of my friends' cars.

Awesome guys! Though... I'm not sure I'll be doing it anytime soon.
