You might not even have to roll or shave. Maybe just heat gun the plastic

my brother in law rolled the fenders on his E36 with a phonebook, PVC pipe, and a jack....it took a while, but it came out clean with no cracks to the paint...

Do their second method... the metal pipe. You can steal one from any street corner.

what you do it take a heat gun, heat the metal tab up. bend it up towards the fender, take screw out, and zip tie. works proper for me i think i have to bend mine a little more tho.

do not roll the fenders. i know i have and another member who had a 2is had problems. the paint is so thin on lexus cars that its hard not to crack the paint. the shop that did mine butchered the rear panels and the body shop had to fix their ****ty roll job and repaint the rear half of the car.

by rolling the fronts, i mean the tabs tht hold the fender liner up, you get real warm with a heat gun, and bend up

thats not really rolling. rolling is taking the whole lip and rolling it flush to the panel.
