I cant say for sure, I am worried if you shave it there wont be enough lip left for the roller to roll. I never tried that so I would hate to say do it. What I hate about shaveing the fenders is it leaves edges that cut tires if you are close. Rolled fenders dont cut the tire if they are close.

couldnt have said it better myself.

Just heat the metal, and roll it. It will stretch the metal and contour it to the right shape. Once you see the fender lip starting to flare out stop unless you are going for that look.


PS you will need to repaint after this, it WILL crack your paint, no matter who tells you it wont, they are wrong, it will start cracking and flaking

Any new updates in pulling? I'm sure quite a few SC's have had this done since this thread was created. Still, I have not seen, to this day, a pull better-looking than Terry's (TeeLex) red SC.

I'm looking for a good shop that can do this in south florida. anyone have any good places to recommend a good pull?
