when i rolled mine I used the eastwood went nice and slow and used a heat gun to heat up the paint...don't go too quickly that is where you run into problems it took me about a hour or so each fender to get it where i wanted it with no waves the more pressure the roller puts on the fender the more likely you are to get waves so go nice and slow. the eastwood will give you a workout but its not that bad I only have a 95 gt so i don't know how much different the fenders are just make sure you only roll down to the rivets that hold the inner and outer fender together on the bottom front part of the fender u can see them if u look closely its almost impossible to to roll this part of the fender due to the rivets and usually u don't have to roll the lip all the way flat just enough angle so it doesn't rub or tear up the tires. just my 2 cents

There's people on craigslist that rent the tool out or will do it for you. Here's one ad I found.

I would like to get the rears done on mine. If you get enough people that want to get it done, maybe we can all chip in on the rental and get together somewhere.
