I rolled and pulled mine at home by myself with a baseball bat and a small sledge hammer. No waves. Paint chipped all off the insdie of the fender but some linex was going in there anyway to protect from the rubbing that may still occur

Man you should of asked us what we thought of the the estimate of $300.00 before you went ahead with that.

They way overcharged you on the price and there is no way there should be waves.

Slight imperfections maybe, anything really noticable is not a porfessional job and at the very least you should demmand your money back.

To the person who said there is a DIY to fix the waves the only fix is body work and then paint.

You cant really straighten a wavy fender once its been done.

Im sort of mad for you, i despise rip off body/mechanic shops and there are ALOT of them.

(edit) can u post pics so we can see how severe the waves are?

The DIY wasn't to fix the waves... it was to reduce them from happening

I flattened my lips both front and rears using a rubber mallet. They both still look stock.

Well now that you guys are talking about it, they are dimples not waves and you can't really see them unless you look close like you know they've been rolled. Unable to get a good picture unless i'd post it.... my phone sucks =(
&
I knew $300 was a lot but he was telling me he does a good job and the other cars in his shop look good a long with the body work he's done prior.

now tomorrow i may go back up there and try talking to him but i dont want to seem to disrespectful as he has help me a lot with diagnosing my car and what not when my ECU went bad... but moneys money and results speak for themselves...

I believe the dimples are caused by the fender liner mounting points.........
