SoCal Fender Rolling

Hey guys. Just bought new rims. They're 18x9.5 35offset in the back, so needless to say, with my H&R springs, I'm gonna need to get my fenders rolled. I live in Orange County and I was wondering if anyone around here knows anyone really legit that can do my two back fenders for a reasonable price. Hit me up if you know anyone. Thanks!

They're sitting my garage driving me insane!! They're FN01R-C hot version black with the polished lip. But yeah, i'll defiantly post some pics when I put them on.

I was counting on you to know someone though, dozer! It seems like you do all kinds of crazy stuff on the forum haha

Don't you need one of those awesome fender rolling mechanisms though? Did you roll yours yourself?

To the OP,

I know that the Miata guys on clubroadster.net have socal tech days at Woolery's house. We actually chipped in (all of the members).....so that we can have an Eastwood Fender Roller available for people who need it.

I'm sure they won't mind having a few RX8s over at the house to get their fenders rolled as we've had other cars of other marques there before (i.e. BMWs, MR2s, and etc.)

Go to www.clubroadster.net and look under the California regional section there. Or search for Garage Woolery under the search button.

David Woolery always has a heatgun and fender roller at his house. Don't try the bat method. I did that during an emergency on the track for my Miata, but I highly doubt you want flaking paint and messed up fenders on a RX8 - a car that costs about 6 times that of a cheaper NA Miata.

You're actually in luck!

They have a Garage Woolery Tech day coming up. I've already asked him if it was okay for the RX8 guys to come over to a Miata meet. They'll have the fender roller there for your use!

You can typically rent an Eastwood fender roller for $25-75 with a $150-200 deposit from members on different forums. I thought about buying one for a while but never went through. Just a roll isn't too hard, the rears are a bit annoying. Anything past a roll and you will 100% have cracked paint, not that it matters, lol. If you miss that meet and end up renting one I can help you out, its really not hard. Don't mind my fenders, I pulled them out and flared them a bit to fit my wheels, you won't need to do anything anywhere near that

Or you can nicely ask me. And I may be able to borrow the one we got at the shop. Its old but I believe it still works. I could probably take it to one of Dozers install days.
