Rolled or shaved rear fenders
Does anyone have pics of their rolled or shaved rear fenders? Just recently bagged my 4GS and noticed the tire rubs a little in the rear. I've done a shave and pull on my old 2GS and was wondering if anyone could shed a little light on the process or info on doing the rears for this gen. Appreciate it. It's also a 20x10 with a 275/30 tire if anyone was wondering.

I'll try to remember to get a pic later today. Mine are rolled. I was told by my fender rolling guy that the rear of the GS is tricky due to there being a seam on the lip. When rolled, that seam can split off and cause some cracking and splitting of the paint. I told him to do it anyway.

The rears was not as bad as I thought, I was worried it would be too thick or stiff to roll. There is a bead of sealer in the middle of the lip, once you start rolling it cracks, but it didn't stop me. I was worried I would pull or flare the fender, but to avoid doing so spent less time on one angle. I did 1/4 to 1/2 turns on one angel then increased it more vertically. Not only did it come out as planned, it was faster than other cars I've done.

Thanks guys for the info. Yeah I saw that seam and wasn't sure if it was okay to roll it or shave off. On the 2GS you just take off a trim piece held by some screws and the exposed lip from the fender can be shaved all the way down, which I did. Searched and couldn't find a good enough pic of a before and after rolling or shaving on the 4GS. If you guys could post your pics so I could get an understanding of how it looks I'd appreciate it.
