I just bought a Fender roller since with my cars lowering i rub tire with my rims/tire setup.

But i was wondering if anyone would be interested in borrowing the tool for a small fee.

That's a pretty pimp tool. I wouldn't mind doing that just so I could space the wheels out for a macho stance.

i posted it up in mr2 forum and there is interest in the so cal section.

the question is can we pay you to roll our fenders so we dont have to rent the tool from you? would be safer than renting and possibly breaking it in some way. and how much will you charge? how can we make an appointment?

Careful you don't mess up someone elses car. I think that fender stretching requires alot more than a roller. A roller will leave creases if you roll beyond the lip.

OK, first off..i will NOT do the rolling for anyone...they will have to do it themselves. Just so if they mess anything up on their car i am not being held responsible.

Also i was thinking $40 to rent it, and of course i would have to have a deposit so if someoone was to mess up the tools i can replace it.

If someone local is intersted and comes down to use it i have no problem with that.

Trust me, i worked with sheet metal and stuff like this for years. I used all kindsa things to get the fender rolled, but what happens is the tire catches the lip when turning sharp and then bends it back down...so this is alot better and no chance of the tire tread catching a lip and pulling ur rolled fenders back down.

^^ that is exactly what i tell people. fender rolling is much safer than having a cut fender shred your tire to pieces on the freeway.

super stiff supension is even better.

so how can i get a hold of your fender roller? i got a line of people waiting to rent it from u
