you are a brave man. I did this on my IS and it kept getting worse. This car seems to like having the panels shaved vs rolled. But you can always have it painted.

I thought about sealing them with some kind of silicon just so it wont keep cracking. im gonna let a paint shop i know take a look at it and see if they think it will peel off. It looked the same on my Mazda and it never peeled off. Im hoping Lexus paint is better then a mazdas.

I wish I had access to the rolling tool before I repainted my fenders

Is it correct that you can only roll the rear fender?

no not really, but they're no better than new (as in rolled!) I could have used this opportunity to my advantage by rolling them and going lower without scrapping.

the paint cracking is inevitable since the part that is cracking is sort of a weather stripping seal (best i can describe it as). here is a pic of a mangled one...
