Kind of, you just need to take your time and be careful. Don't force it. It didn't come out perfect but it will do for now. I would suggest heating it first so you don't chip the paint.

Shave your fenders to prevent yourself, Club Lexus, and VSC from getting anymore headaches.

Rolling then pulling will increase the chances of your fender dimpling. If you insist on pulling, then shave the fenders first. This way dimpling is less likely to occur.
