Does anyone know the most experienced body shop in Southern CA that does "shave" and "roll-fender" without cracking paint and waves on fender line? Big THANKS!!!.......

I've heard autofashion in SD does nice work, you may want to search the boards of the san diego section for info on them.

haha boy, how did my name come up? thanks for the vote of confidence spine911

i have done a few fender mods including my ls and gs. it's a lot of work and i did a lot of extra work to make it look nice. i always shave my fenders, never roll it. unless you are ready for some paint work afterward, rolling is probably the worst idea. shaving is much safer and give you good clearance.

are you going to run aggressive offsets? how aggressive? how about tires? maybe i can give some suggestions.

and with all honestly, one shop you can consider is vip status in torrance. talk to owner david. he's a good friend of mine and they do some very good work too

Thanks Henry. The reason i'm asking is because I just order BBS LM's 20x9.5 +40/20x10.5 +20, i'm not too worry about the front, the only concern is the rear if I lower, and BBS only carrys that offset with 5x114 pattern in US market, because they are special made for GTR35. I know i'm a little too crazy about the rear, but I just want to be different and more aggressive, and I know I need a major shave/roll in the rear, tirewise probably 245/35 and 255/35...what do you think?...Big thanks

oh man, LM, you can't go wrong with that

i would definitely try to go with 245/35, that's pretty darn aggressive offset in the rear. and yes, you will need a lot of fender work!!
