You can't even tell if a fender is rolled just by looking at it. Its rolled in, unless you look VERY closely you can't tell until you actually feel the inside (again all this depends on the roller).

As John stated, you don't have to roll your fenders, but you may have to run some pretty negative cambers.....
+1, you have to touch the inside of the fenders to see if fenders are rolled or not.

Glad everything went well.

BTW, I was the Asian guy who was talking to you and asked if you got your car modded at Shoreline? Anyways, if you need an alignment anytime soon, we will be getting a brand new Hunter machine installed in the shop soon
haha shoot hey John! was that your white e60 with quads out front that I was admiring? I had a hunch you might be from here when you mentioned my car, I should have asked! haha

I'm actually heading back out to EuroRev (another hour+ drive) to get an alignment done on Friday, doubtful the Hunter will be in by then tho right? Maybe I'll see yah there.

Regarding the fender rolling questions, mine are actually rolled in the front already, but I still had some bad rubbing issues on the Eibach Sportsline springs. They're actually about an inch lower than the Pro Kit that a lot of people on here recommend. That extra inch probably accounts for the issues. It gave the car a real nice aggressive look in the parking lot, but that's just not my style, I'm more performance oriented (as much as you can be in a 3.5k lbs luxury sedan anyway ).

from the research ive done and problems ive seen it weakens the paint on the outside and inevitably leads to cracking/weakening of the paint. i live in lincoln, nebraska and i understand there isnt snow, salted roads, and chemicals put down to deice. But in nebraska that will lead to rusted fenders a lot faster.

I am correct when i saw part of the fender rolling process is heating up the outside painted part of the fender, right? I plan on keeping my car for awhile and because of the conditions listed above fender rolling isnt an option for me.

Not as aggressive as it used to be, but 100x better handling and ride compared to the Eibach sportsline kit and stock shocks.

Compared to Eibach kit (before KV 2s - looked sick, but rubbed like a mofo):

I need to replace my rear window seal too. I wonder what the labor cost is. Looks like parts are only $35. I'd have my dad do it but i hate asking for favors.
