Does anyone know where I can have my rear fenders rolled in the Chicago, IL area? I really don't want to try it my self for fear of chipping or cracking the paint.

Thanks, Jim

Effectively flattening the lip within your rear arches to give a little more space for larger wheels without catching.
Several ways to do it, but the best is using a spacing tool with a rubber roller that gets mounted to the wheel hub.

The arches (fenders) get warmed up before to avoid the paint from cracking
