I highly recommend City Tire btw, plus they sell tires for pretty cheap there too.

Whoaaa, didn't know you was on the forum!! Welcome to CL. Just wanted to ask a question that might be a bit off.

I'm looking to get my rear quarter panel slightly pulled, the problem is that my rear passenger has been hit from the previous owner, so it looks off from the driverside rear. From the feeling and tapping on my rear passenger side quarter panel, there has been bondo applied around there. Would you be able to still do a pull with a quarter panel like this?

Thanks,
Dara

On most of the Lexus line pulling the fenders requires a lot pressure on the wheel lip to flex the lower quarter panel, ( a lot more than simply rolling the lip ), the bad news is that if theres bondo there, its very likely to crack.

If anyone has any question, i'm always happy to answer them, I always advise people to do as much reserch as possible before jumping into getting the fenders worked on.
Thanks Tony! I'm gonna keep up with you later on in the future when necessary pulls and bodywork comes around. Definitely aspire your work!

I'm still probably looking to get mine done Tony. But I've been pretty busy lately and short on cash due to other things on my plate. When I'm ready, I'll hit you up.

Agressive fender pulling,,, no problem.

After, rolled and pulled almost two inches, no paint cracking or metal splitting.
Care to share a quick process and what did you use?
