very true, I forgot to add that to my previous posts. I had to go back to the shop about 2-3 times of heavy fender rolling and pulling to get my wheels to fit. it came out super freakin clean though

Lol....What do you think we should do Henry? We need to roll our fenders, but we're on a tight budget, what do you suggest we do? Try to rent one and get someone experienced to help us? Or do you think we have to go to shops. Lol

for everyone's info:

So Steezy's car is not one of the first cars that we've done... we have an EVO that we did where we fit 18x10.5 +18 on stock fenders, but the fender did not cooporate with us as well as we had hoped. so please keep in mind that there's always risks with these things, nothing is perfect and especially when you're trying to bend metal... you're playing with fate almost in a sense. i'm not saying that we (Mach III) is not capable of making sure that the fender comes out the best, but just keep in mind that the chances of the fender looking bad is always there...

I'm not looking to pull the fenders and be hellaflush, just to roll the inside of my rear fenders.

The fender roller rental from NASIOC is for ten days. If all ten people REALLY need rolled fenders, I think we should split the party up into three days, four three and three. Then we could use a few more pros to help supervise the other two parties cuz I don't want to waste anyone's time.

If we don't need to rent (if you have roller please let us know) time isn't an issue, I just need mine done by the 27th.

well, me personally, i think it's better to go to a shop... there are times when a dremell will come in handy too and alignments can be done on the spot.. just my .02

if anyone needs this done for Hella flush, email me or call me at the store. hchen@machiii.net. we're gonna have about 13 of our customers' cars out there that we've worked on. I've already agreed with the person heading the show that anyone who's registered with that show, we will give a discount for the labor to help out whether it's alignment or fender roll/pull

Hey Guys. DTMEvolution has the fender roller and heat gun and is willing to meet up with us for a fender roller day! I am very glad he responded so quickly and is very helpful.

I don't know how many people are REALLY interested, but if so, reply with your name on the list. Please guys, don't add your name because you "might" get wheels in the future or because you think it's a "good deal" so please be fair. Also, whoever said they were interested a month ago, DTMEvo said they had a Suby Fender Rolling day on June 28 and NO Subaru's showed up. So, just add your name. Also if you guys know someone who is experienced and can help us...bring them along lol.
