Came from the Mercedes sights not cheap Japcrap.

Never claimed it was the best idea, just AN idea but they have had a lot of success with it on the other sites.

The heating with the heat gun is more for the paint so it doesnt crack from the fender being bent back. Yes oem paint is good however its better safe then sorry.

DIY fender rolling is good. You have to weigh in the cost of rolling equipment or just have a pro do it for $40 per fender. Or you can go cheap and use a pipe or bat or something. I can pretty much guarantee that after this guy did it, his tires don't rub on the fenders anymore.
