Rolling Fenders

I am wondering where i can have my fenders rolled? I believe tires 23 used to do this but not anymore. I would do it myself but would actually prefer someone with experience doing this. Thanks.

jack up the car, stick a baseball bat in the bottom, lower the car and roll a bit in the direction you want the bat to go.
it may chip some paint, seen it done before and couple of times paint stayed fine, and once paint chipped away. GL

if you have had body work done to your car and there is bondo on your fenders the paint will crack. otherwise use a heat gun on the edge of the fender and do the bat thing sicrid3r described but hold it at a slight angle and go back and forth pushing it more and more until your done. you wont crack the paint this way. plus it'll prolly look better

Build a roller VWvortex Forums: Fender Roller (a DIY!)

Harbor Freight did sell one but in the past few days it's been removed from their site

Euroline Performance rents the rollers for $60. They can also do it for you but it's pretty expensive. I did it myself and it's not that hard, they turned out well. You need a heat gun to heat up the metal and then start rolling.
It's better to do it with 2 people.
