Fenders rolled

Well I am getting my rear fenders rolled tomorrow.. And I can't wait how to see how it looks!

Will be getting some Megan coilovers and will be slamming it on the floor! I shall be able to run -2 camber instead of -4.

Pictures will be up tomorrow

It's a little scary, getting the fenders rolled, hopefully the guy will not mess up. He has done 35's and 350's before.

This guy is funny. Watch the shop will charge him $100.00 to remove his wheels and pretend like their rolling something lol. Who would want to slam their car's to The floor anyways. Sounds stupid

If the shop has rolled many G35s and 350s, they probably aren't aware that the G37 fenders are different and don't have a lip. Probably the same case with the OP.

OP, FYI pulling a fender out (widening it) is different than rolling the inner lip. It's a much more involved process and can damage your fenders if not done very carefully by someone who is experienced and really knows what they're doing. And many experienced shops avoid doing it because of the potential to damage the car. Make sure you and your shop are on the same page. And if you have your fenders pulled out, please post pics so we can see how it turned out.

pulling your fenders will require bodywork afterwards. I had my Z's rear fenders pulled and since the fender is similar to the G's in that its a dual layered piece of metal it will leave a crease like mark and little dents or ripples. and the guy that did my car specializes in pulling and rolling down here.

Probably meant "pulling" fenders...

Or

Like what BB said, shop's not aware that our G's fenders come rolled from the factory.

On a car that might actually need this (not a G37), a job well done will mean you won't be able to notice a difference...

I pulled my fenders. All I used was a fender roller and a heat gun. Granted ir was only to get another 2-3mm of clearence but that is all I needed. And no body work was needed.

Alright, maybe not "fender rolling".

I got my fenders pulled for more clearance inside. I use my G as a daily driver car, and I usually have 2-3 people in my car that weighs between 170-200 pounds(guys). They usually cause me to rub and put some wear on my tires.

Pictures will be up, once the guy posts it up on his website.
