Default Rolling fenders help

just got my new wheels for the F. however, i need a slight fender roll in the rear. Is there anything i should look out for when having someone roll them? did some research and some claim the rear is very thick, so may be difficult to roll without damaging the paint. should i just shave the fenders instead. I only need a few mm of clearance. any recemendations of shops in orange county ca would be appreciated.
thanks in advance.

I had my rear fenders shaved by James @ Pit Crew Motorsports in San Gabriel

I've also had fenders rolled at Evasive Motorsports in La Puente. I can't recommend anyone in Orange County but I will say that I live in OC and wouldn't hesitate to drive to get the job done right.

Post this in the So Cal regional section and you may get more help from non IS F folks as well.

I've rolled more then ISx50 rear fenders and they all came out good. As long as you bring it to someone that knows what they are doing, it'll be fine

How does the fender get rolled without the paint cracking?

I had to shave my fenders as well (did it myself) because the roller didn't work well. The fender had an inner lip that kept getting in the way when I tried to roll it.

they heat up the fender with a heat gun to a certain temp so the paint doesn't crack.
