Sonic MS. They're a little bit pricey (probably the same going rate for all fender rolling/pulling shops out there) but you're paying for what you get. They do a good job at what they do.
Just let them know steven sent you and they'll take care of you.

Any other recommendations for a place that rolls fenders? I had a BMW owner briefly mention a shop up in Novato that is supposedly the "best" in the Bay Area (they have a guarantee that your paint won't crack), but I didn't catch the name of the place.
I was riding a little too low and soft on my coils and slightly bent my fender. I'm hoping it can be rolled back to look right, and allow my to throw on some spacers for flushness.

Rolling is old school, shaving is THE WAY. Do a search, Search, SEARCH !
Also rolling does not allow as much clearance as shaving, so those who want maximum clearance, then shaving is the way to go. Note that I am only talking the rear fenders. Front fenders are thinner gauge, so partial rolling is an option.
I've been shaving Lexus fenders for 8+ years now. Brian, next time you see me, you should check out the fender work on my car .
A lot of the posts I have read through the years will have people saying this and that and just use a heat gun, etc. Well a lot of those posts come from people who came from Honda world where the sheetmetal is thin and so is the paint. We're Talking Lexus here folks.
I would only go to a shop or an individual that will roll fenders and give a 2 + year warrantee that the paint will not crack/flake. If they can't warantee the work then they are just blowing smoke.
PS - Exact Motorsports does shaving

I even read that one thread where you said rolling up front might be good with the 2IS because of the thinner sheet metal (like you just reiterated here). I guess I need to search some more!Here's what I did to my car by the way - bent my fender slightly: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...-on-coils.html.
I'm almost certain that damaged was caused from turning my wheels too much while going up a driveway. I've never driven a lowered car, so lesson learned, the hard way.The reason I'm particularly interested in rolling is because I was hoping to reshape my fender (removing that bend) and increase clearance at the same time, killing two birds with one stone. My offsets are pretty conservative for the 2IS (19x8.5+35 [235/35/19] & 19x9.5 [265/30/19]) so shaving isn't really necessary in my case, I think... Please correct me if I'm wrong anyone.
I'll be sure to check out your fender work at the next meet.

LOL, I did search Glen! That's how I ended up here. I even read that one thread where you said rolling up front might be good with the 2IS because of the thinner sheet metal (like you just reiterated here). I guess I need to search some more!

Brian, I keyed off your response, but I guess I should of directed it to all readers as I intended it to be general advice.
Let me take a look at your fender at the Pizza meet and we can go from there, with what your options are.
