Roll fender shop
please help me here... I am rubbing quite bad now and I can't seem to find a reliable body shop that can roll my car safely. I asked one bodyshop and he asked for over a $1000. That's ridiculous..
do you guys know any bodyshop or performance shop in the Bloomington, Indiana or Indianapolis,Indiana area that are able to roll my fender?
Thank you so much

this probably would have been better off in the Regional subforum
1k is ridiculous, he probably misunderstood what you wanted done.

You could just put a refundable deposit down and do it yourself (google)...
Or better yet talk to guys in your regional forum and see if anyone has a rolling tool you can barrow.

yeah... I asked him if he was serious and he said yes.. lol
I guess I have to rent one and do it myself. the problem is that I am afraid that I might chip the paint that's why I am looking for body shop to do it.
anyway, I did post in the regional forum but I thought I post here too, because I thought more people might look at this here.
Thanks so much

I've done it 2 ways. With the roller tool and the other with a rubber mallet. Both require the use of a heat gun. The roller tool does give it a smoother feel, but the rubber mallet method works just as nice.
Here's a video with my car using the roller tool with commentary.

We do it with a childs tee-ball bat locally. *shrug* I don't know where you're at but if you want to come out to Cleveland I can get you a couple guys to do it in about 10 minutes for about $10 and some brew.

guys, I rolled my fender.
I don't rub on the fenders anymore, but now, I am rubbing with the plastic/metal that is holding rear bumper to the body. is there anyway I can cut the plastic away or bend the metal?

Do Not Cut! Trust me, I've been there. You can try and shave part of the inner liner off, but I highly advise you not to cut at that point. Look carefully and you'll see weld points.
This was my rear tire setup. 275/35/18 on 18x9.5 +35 wheels.

Another guy on 20's....
The only thing that I see that could have been different would be going with a 265/30/20
Wheels that are 9.5 wide with fit perfect with a 265. 275 can work thou but I would have went with a 265
