LIC Motorsports Now Offering Fender Rolling

*I can hear it now, why does it cost so much? The answer right upfront is simply, it takes a long time to do...first the wheel/tire need to come off, the brake caliper needs to be removed from the rotor, then the paint needs to be heated *carefully*, and then finally its rolling time...NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, IT'S A PROCESS.

Your kidding, that price is f'king cheap for the work involved and the care required to work with the shtt that Subaru calls paint and the coke can material they use in the fenders.

Good stuff LIC!

Approximately, what the widest tire you can fit on a WRX sedan with rolled fenders?

No, if your wrx came with stock OEM brakes and had an upgrade done (i.e. brembos, Stoptech's, 4-Pots, etc...) then it will be charged as an Upgraded Service.

If you own a STi, it is charged as an Upgraded Service...

If you have stock 1 piston calipers, its charged as an OEM Service.

yes, yes I know I worded it wrong, its been corrected on the website.

Ok, stupid question: why does it cost more to take off brembo calipers than WRX OEMs? It's actually less work and easier to remove them.

Oh, good price regardless btw.
