I shaved my rear fenders, is it to late to roll?

LOL at all the negative comments, guess everyone is an expert and works at a body shop. Your fenders are already shaved, so just shave off more material if you can. And then use some touch up paint to protect it, its not going to rust unless you left it outside for years just sitting. I have seen a ton of fender rolling jobs that look worse than that and the paint still cracks. Front and rear fenders on one of my SCs are shaved and it looks perfect, paint is fine. The rear fenders on my ISF are rolled flat. Both ways work just fine when done correctly.

Thanks for your input. the problem is if i end up finishing shaving them then I can not get them pulled right? and the wheels i have are no where close to tucking over bumps yet. even with a camber kit, these fenders will still need to be pulled, so i'm still looking for some more input and opinions on if this fender can still be rolled with out waves.

To be perfectly honest with you, the REAL way to do it is to fit the rear quarter panel (not fender) over the wheels. Then repaint the entire panel to blend in with the rest of the body if you don't want to run excessive camber. This is the problem I have with all this poke fitment game and being flush and slammed. It is totally possible but you're gonna have to spend some money. Good luck with you decide and hope all goes well.

Just installed the Megan Camber arms. good news is that i can get the wheel lip to tuck. bad news is that in doing so, i have added waaaay to much camber and it looks retaded.
so i adjusted the camber where I felt it looked best. And like i originally thought it will now hit the wheel lip instead of the tire which is even worse. I raised the coilovers a half inch, so it will need more travel to hit the lip. I took it for a drive and it rubs when i take turns. I was wondering if you guys think a sway bar will help it not rub during turns.
So i'm still debating on what to do next.
once again option A: shave the other fender as well. get a sway bar, raised car 1/2" and hope it never hits.
Option B: Pull the side I shaved. and roll, and pull the other side.( This is the most likely option, however i'm scared that both quarter panels will look uneven.)
Option C: Shave other fender as well, and have them both pulled.
