    Well I had 4 people in the car today and over bumps and sharp corners the rear tires rub. Is there any place in the cities that rolls fenders and how much $$?

    wait until wednesday, or bite the bullet and find someone that'll do it sooner. And if you can't wait a couple days, don't forget to wear some lipstick so you look good when you get f#$^ed.:pittyfool:

    sorry to tell ya but unless you uber carefull chances are you going to crack you paint even with a fender roller. especially since its cold out. the pipe method will get you by, and if you spend some time at it you will get eh same result. just the roller is alittle faster.

    roller is pretty much fool proof if you have a decent operater who watches the angle and uses the heat gun properly. we had no paint cracking on my car except one spot on one fender - and that was due to crappy bodywork done by some previous owner (bondo). and that cracking wasn't even visible
