ahh! will it mess up my paint? i remember when i had my accord they took a small baseball bat and just rolled over it. it caused my paint to chip off and rust on the bottom. is there a special way to roll this?
They should use the proper fender rolling tools.

I bet some of the SoCal folks would be able to point you to a shop
near you. I'll let them chime in on this one.

Don't do it with a baseball bat, and if the shop insists --- run away.

i just got these bad boys on my car w/ the sports package and the front right rubs on bumps and driveways. what can i do besides rolling my fenders?
Trying adding spacers that would help. I had that issue once with one set of my rims.
