I had some cracking occur, not from the roll I have, but from previous things. I've yet to see any rust or have any issues. When I rolled the fenders I took a can of wheel clear coat and sprayed down the insides of my fender roll and where the paint cracked/chipped. No issues.

Hey Mike, my roller also said you could use clear fingernail polish to seal up the crack and prevent spreading. I haven't done that yet, but my crack hasn't spread after 4 drives through tahoe blizzards.

the nail polish supposedly protects from rust also, i just don't know how long it lasts until you have to reapply.
The car is at AHQ right now, getting the Clutch, LWFW, and STI front diff installed.
Turbo + other stage 3 goodies going in next week, and scheduled to get it tuned next saturday in Socal =) Will probly go back up to EQ for the dyno in January.

A guy on the LGT forums does road tunes & remote e-tunes for AP or opensource:

Stage 1 or 2 tunes go for $150, $75 for a new map if you get updated parts. I'll be getting a Stage 3 CA91 and e85 road tune from him next weekend for cheaper than a used Cobb =D
