Default fender rolling
hey guys, i was just quoted 800 bucks to get my front fenders rolled. i thought this was a pretty exorbitant amount of money but i was just checking to see if this was normal. also, im in the milwaukee area for any suggestions. thanks

Default Wow, that is a lot.
I got mine done for almost $175 for both sides. A local body shop would do it for about $150 a side. Definitely check other places. That is WAY to high.

Default You have a wooden baseball bat?
That's how I did it. FREE. Did my M3 and many other cars the same way.
