    Does anyone know of someone that does "fending rolling" for Fcars here in Colorado?
    I've a steep drive and can see it will be an ongoing problem.

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Would the metal surgeon do it?

    The baseball bat method is crude and risky. There is a special tool you can use and do it yourself, although Tim Greenshields did mine. Have your fenders already been damaged? If so, you might crack the metal when you bend it back because of work-hardening and embrittlement.

    You can get the tool from The Tire Rack.

    Thanks for the reply...

    Talked to a professional fender roller here in town (his fenders on his WRX were paper thin...guy knew what he was doing) and after weighing the pros and cons (although more pros honestly) I just decided to go back to stock.
