Make sure u go to a reputable place since our cars easily show ripples on the fender lip If not rolled correctly. Foxs and new edge hide this better since they have a body line along the fender opening that helps disguise imperfect work

It's NOT illegal. It's just frowned upon, like masturbating on an airplane.

Ian, be careful and use a reputable shop.
Rolling fenders is stressful work and not any turkey can do it.
I'd ask for references and make sure I could see some work before allowing someone to do it on my own car. This will minimize the chance that the outer lip is rippled and have the person who did it look at you like they just did a great job.
Like Alex said, the SNs can be tricky.
I rolled mine myself in the Cobra and there are some faint ripples.
I've done two pairs of cars now and was not completely pleased with either time. I went slow, used a heat gun, used the Eastwood Fender Roller and still got so-so results.
It's definitely an art. I would NEVER consider doing someone elses car unless I had a lot more experience.

We have been very successful rolling the fronts. Although the rears are tricky and usually require bodywork after due to the ripples that the double panel causes from being so strong. If you are interested come by the shop and we can give you a proper estimate on what it would take and how much.

no not yet, but i know theyve been doing it for all kinds of cars. last car i know they did was a newer bmw trying to fit some wider 20's. im eventually gonna get my e30 done here when i get my new wheels. i called tyre thread, and he was trying to charge me GRIP. no matter where you go bro make sure they use a heat gun.
