I brought my Girlfriends car (2009 Mazda 3) to this guy to ROLL the rear fender lips due to the rubbing from a new set of wheels. I have rolled fenders before and have done so very successfully without damage to the vehicle, So it would be safe to assume I know the process. This guy adjusted the tool and tried to flatten the fender lip in one pass and chipped the paint all along the edge of the fender. After that he test fitted the wheel and told me to drive it and see if it still rubbed. The tire still scraped, so he resorted to cranking down on the tool even more and pulling the fender out and "flaring" it. All he ended up doing was cracking the paint severely and bending the fender lip so that it looked VERY un-professional. He told me it was not his problem and that he would not compensate me. After 20 minutes of going back and forth, I decided to leave and pay to fix it on my own. Stay away from this guy.

Thank for the heads up

Make a ad on Craigslist using his Title and Post then attach your pics.

Posted by racsirx (Member # 1710) on :

Mustangs are a lot easier to do for me since I started rolling fenders on them back in 1989, they are a lot thicker metal than an import and they are really hard to fuck up. 925 GT contacted me a few times but I was very busy doing something else, but I wanted to do them today for him since I didn't have much going on today and wanted to make sure to have a clear head and take my time since that Mazda has very thin metal and I didn't want to do what that guy did, I am very sorry I couldn't have done them for him.

Blame Lee! Lol... Sucks though

Posted by XXXCHP (Member # 11875) on :

I think I saw that same guys number selling $150 iPads on Craigslist.

Posted by 925_GT (Member # 11891) on :

I wanted Lee to do them, but time was an issue. Lesson learned.

I didn't pay the guy shit. He owes me money as far as I'm concerned.

Posted by Fostang (Member # 3752) on :

Razor blade and heat gun.

Posted by 166 Merlo (Member # 1549) on :

Bro its craiglist, is he gonna reimburse u for $25, or did u let him fuck up all four fenders?

Posted by MauriSSio (Member # 9943) on :

I just used a cutting wheel on mine. Easy.

Posted by 89bluenotch (Member # 7454) on :

Damn that's fucked! Rolling it with a baseball bat would have turned out better than that

Posted by Luke87GT (Member # 21) on :

I've had three cars now that had the fenders rolled.

Rolling fenders is an art and can be very stressful work. Every car is a bit different too - uses different metal thickness, paint quality, etc.

My last experience with fender rolling came by way of word of mouth. Everyone on a national car forum was recommending that I use a particular guy here in nor-cal claiming that he was the best (non-mustang related). I gave him a ring and he claimed to have done hundreds of these jobs and many on my particular car model. He was confident and I hired him.

Well, long story short, he completely botched one of the fenders. And I am mean putting a severe crease in it on top of cracking the paint, and this guy was supposed to be an expert.

Because I was not happy with 2/3 of the fender roll jobs I've experienced, these days I am more of an advocate of shaving rather than rolling. Shaving puts no stress on the fender, there's no risks of paint cracking, no risks of putting a wave in your fender, but you have to be very careful with that grinder.

I don't envy the guys who roll fenders for a living since I promise you that every one of them has at least one story that they'd like to forget.

Yeah, those wheels were sitting in the garage when I got there. He said he had a whippled cobra in storage because he had a DUI. He also had a shitty SN95 gt in the driveway he said was getting a 347 for and a dark grey new edge vert gt on stock bullitts he didnt say anything about.
