Default quick question on fender rolling

I normally do all mods myself and am very capable, but Im scared to mess up my fenders so Im paying a shop to roll my fenders. Anyone know the average price that a shop will charge to do this?

Ok, thanks. What about cost on a slight pull?

I paid around $100 for 4 corner roll and slight pull. The guy who did mine actually hammered them flat with a rubber mallet and they came out great. This probably varies quite a bit by location though.

Thanks for the replies. Just wanted to get an idea so that I would have an idea what it costs before I go in and get a quote. Thanks again.

Are the fenders on the IS forgiving? My old ride had a plastic molding that lined the edge of the fender so even if you messed up the metal while rolling, you can cover it up with the plastic. The IS doesn't obviously, but was wondering if it is a easy DIY?

If you have little experience, i would recommend paying someone. The paint on a Lexus is very soft, so It's quite easy to mess it up.

Cool, Im going to get mine done in two weeks to get ready for a set of TE37's. Im lowering it on some BC coilovers and Megan rear arms late next week. Courtesy of Dimitri, thanks again. <--His ride looked so sick, I had to pick up his set-up. I thought about buying his rims as well, but I wanted to get something light.
