Does anyone know a shop that would roll the front fenders on an 06 STi without cracking paint preferably in the south bay? I had my rear fenders rolled at Speed Element, but they said they didn't recommend rolling the fronts because the paint might crack. However my wheels/tires stick out about 1/2" from the fenders and would like the fenders be able to tuck them in.

Is there a shop that can roll my fronts without cracking paint?

 

wood like know too..need front fenders rolled badly

 

There's a reason Speed Element didn't want to take your money and do this...
No one who rolls fenders anywhere can or will guarantee that your paint won't crack.

 

Isn't that what a heat gun is for?

 

I had a miata guy roll the front fenders on my bugeye. he did it for free as long as I helped him out. got one small 1cm. crack in the paint because I forgot to heat up a portion and he rolled further than i thought he would. as long you find a place that is careful it should be okay. How did you like the work Speed Element did on the rear fenders?

 

QFT

Yes, but that doesn't 100% prevent cracks.

It's a couple of brothers working out of Saratoga and they have rolled a ****load of fenders. They rolled my fenders front and rear. Only a minor crack on one fender.

 

Got my rear fender rolled by RMS. I recommend Nick and I paid 60 dollars.

 

Anthony at auto R&D does fender rolling they are down the street from speed element, he does a ton of fender rolling

 

was the crack able to be concealed with touch up paint?

 

Concealed or sealed?

It's not very noticeable, I should fill it with some touch up paint so it doesn't rust, but I haven't gotten around to doing that.

 

Both. Would you be able to post a picture? I think I may be thinking of something entirely worse than what it actually is.

 

Come to sac I'll roll them for a 40...

 

Yeah don't think anyone can guarantee that your paint wont crack. When I had my rears done one side was virtually crack free while the other side wasn't as clean. Same technique done on both sides. That's just the way it goes.

 

Anyone know where I can find a girl that will guarantee me a ******* if I buy her dinner?

 

Im in for a group buy.
