08-11 STI Place to roll rear fender ?

Hi again fellow I-Clubbers,

What shop will do a good job slightly rolling/ pulling my rear fenders. One shop went to (will keep anonymous until I receive enough input) would press and press to cut the fender liner, saying that Japanese aluminum sheet metal was too brittle to roll. All the 08-11 sti/ 11 wrx all had their rear fenders rolled to clear wider wheels/tires. Start listing 'em please!

Thanks much!

Thanks for the suggestion! Is there a place closer, i.e. in the South Bay Area? It is a bit much of a drive when I'm working full time and not too much free time on the weekend. Thanks!

AHQ in Redwood City has a roller it seems. Call Kevin and leave a message.

Ended up using my friend's roller. Cost = Free, and we did a great job w/ help of a heat gun. No more rubbing.
