Fender Rolling in SoCal for my e46 M3

[jpy1980]

Hey all,

New member here coming from an f80 M3 to an e46 m3 vert. Love the car so so so much! Perfect mid life crisis car

always, I have some aggressive Arc8s and it rubs a bit in the rear. Does anyone know of a reputable fender roller in SoCal preferably the South Bay Area? Please let me know! Tia Julian

This guy does great work (I had him do the fenders on my NB miata)

There's a solid roller on IG @Fat_Stance that is familiar with E46 M3 rolling.

I had these guys trim the rear fenders on my E36, good work, good rates.

Ah jeez. Thanks guys for the links but I don’t have Instagram. Do they have a website or an email address? Haha sorry for being lame.

Yea that’s too bad, if only there were a way to search for their names on some kind of world wide database

What did you guys pay, ballpark? Need to get mine done in the next few months and need to calibrate

My biggest regret was trying to do this myself. Absolutely butchered my stock fenders. Ordered hard Motorsport flares to Atleast salvage some looks.


Good on your for getting this out sourced

How did you try and tackle it yourself? Did you try and use a baseball bat?

It was a real ape brain moment I'm not very proud of haha. I used a fender roller. Although inexperience and impatience paid a large part in the failure.

I ended up wearing through a few of the adjustment rods on the rollers. After I realized I'm going to need to cut the lip to roll it is where the impatience set in.
I cut too deep to start on one side, creating a gap in the outer quarters. Then I didn't stop to think about the next step and ended up pulling the outside something crazy.

If I could do back before I started rolling I would probably just roll the inner quarter up to close the gap and seal or weld it back together. My cut gave me enough clearance as is
