wombatsauce, one of my buddies borrowed my Hawker wheel to do his RS and went crazy on his rear quarters with the same effects. Sorry to see that kind of damage 
I've done about 5 cars, I own a professional tool, and I still won't do it for anyone other than a friend, and even then I prefer to loan them the tool with some loose instructions based on experience. It's too easy to screw it up if you don't know what you're doing, and it's too easy to find a shop that's willing to buy a tool and then charge $100 a pop. (that's definitely not directed at anybody here, just horror stries I've heard from friends in other enthusiast communities)
If you have to get it done at a shop, I'd try to find a shop that does a lot of suspension/bodywork on German cars, as that's where you'll typically see the most experience with rolled/pulled fenders.
If you can't find anyone to do it, I'll rent out my tool for cheap (the wheel itself is a wear item) with a deposit, and if you want to organize a day, send me a PM and we can figure something out. I'm up in the Sac area, though, so weekends are my only option.
