looking at all these hot 'n dumped supras has really emphasized the fact that I need to slam my car some more! what are people using to roll fenders these days?

well ive heard people use a blow dryer and a metal bat too,

well the RIGHT way is with a roller. Yes a heat gun or hair dryer should be used too. The heat warms the paint to a state where it becomes flexible, so that when you roll the fenders and create sharper edges, the paint doesn't crack and flake.

yes a baseball bat can be used, but it doesn't do the absolute best job. I've done fenders both ways, baseball bat was at a track on a drift car that needed clearance.
I've also used tin snips and just cut the "rolled" portion off and then used a sanding stone to grind down the edges so they aren't as sharp.

but using a fender roller is the best way to do it...

Do most rim and tire shops have a fender roller?

what rims are those? size and offsets?
They are Lenso D1R, rear are 18x10 +22, front is 18x9 +15. tyres in the pics are 245/40 on the front and 275/35 rear. i've since gone to a 235/40 on the front and will probably use a 265/35 at the back just to match it up. My fenders have been rolled, but I need to pull the fronts a bit more so that I can lower it another half inch.
