A local tire shop had the Eastwood brand tool. $30 for 3 days, no heat gun, but i have one already. They asked for a $300 deposit. I am doing it in a few hours, will post pics later.

Here are pics of the initial fender rolling, the completed roll and the side shot where it shows the fender is "flared" a little now. The last 2 pics iyou can see the original fender and the new flared fender.

Just remember to heat the paint. This is the most important part!!

It took us about 3 hrs to do both fenders. We did a 6 to 8 inch section at a time. The foil you see on the bumper cover, we put there so we didnt risk the bumper getting hot or melting!!

Final pic below is the fender rolled. Looks like that on both sides. Now my tires dont rub anymore!!
