Hey folks, I'm looking for a shop in the area that does fender rolling or cutting. I'm looking to get this done on a 350z, so preferably somoene that has done work on these cars before. So far the only shop I've found that knows wtf I'm talking about was Setzer, but he wants $300 for the rear fenders alone. (I can buy the tool to do it myself for that much)

So, does anyone happen to have any recommendations?

Thanks!

 

yeah if you want professional stuff..ya gotta pay to play..n ya get a warranty w/ it

or you could rent a kit online for like 80bucks
comes w/ return shipping..fender roller...and heat gun
find a friend that you can trust in doing this..but if you think you can do yourself..go ahead..doenst seem that difficult
just have even heating so the paint doesnt crack

 

Yeah, for the online rental there's also a $300 deposit for the tool. In the end it only costs about 75-80 bucks once you return the tools undamaged.

I guess I'm more interested in cutting than rolling, if anyone experienced offers it in the area. I know that in Orlando, Racing Zone (RZ Motoring) will cut z33 fenders for like 15 bucks each, and they do a great job. Too bad they don't do it here, because I'm not sure if I'm ready to try it with my dremel...

Its more of a matter of conveniance than anything. So far I've been pretty disappointed in the avaiable body shops in tampa.

 

ROLLED FENDERS LOOK SICK, ESPECIALY WHEN THE WHEELS ARE FLUSH WITH IT. i WOULD DEFINITLY PAY THE 300 BUX SO THAT WHEN OR IF SOMETHING MESSES UP U HAVE SOMEONE TO FALL BACK ON.

 

its a 1hr drive to orlando..don't seem too bad
why do you want to cut the fenders for? rilling it should work just fine..ill try n ask my friend for some info on where he is getting his roller kit from..i think it was only 80..
and when you return it..they give you 40 back..i think..ill let ya know when i get some more info..

oh..since my friend is renting one...we were thinking of getting a couple people to roll renders too so we can split the bill..
better yet..TR fender rolling group deal..heh


hey..just a random question..do you know some guy w/ a blue Z33 in orlando?

btw..i love those wheels on your Fairlady..

 

We do it at our shop. There's a disclosure you'd have to sign stating that we are not responsible for paint cracks, but my body guy does have plenty of experience in rolling fenders and we do have the necessory tools in order to complete the work.

Thanks.

 

hrmm sounds sketchy. disclosure? why would you have one of those if your guy is very expierienced?

 

I'm going to be doing some suspension work and cutting out the negative camber and also slightly spacing out my wheels to a more aggressive stance
. I've got 285/35/19s on the back and they're definitely going to be rubbing.

Actually, splitting up the bill might be the best idea. I was actually going to split up rental with another friend or two if I ended up renting. How soon are you getting the roller?

HAH. Yes I know Chris. He's the one that said I should go to RZ in Orlando. That's where they cut his fenders.

Thanks!

 

Cool, I'll see how things work out and give you a call. Although, the signature thing does seem kinda .

I knew your shop name sounded kinda familiar. I worked with someone named Patty who told me her friends were starting a shop a while back. Looks like it's taking off for you. Maybe I'll drop by and check it out sometime.

 

It's the same reason you sign something before you get your car dyno'd, or go to Cophers, or go to the doctor, or get work done AT NISSAN. Bad things hardly ever happen when dealing with experienced people, but sometimes they do. That's why you're dealing with experienced people in the first place, and not Jorge in the back alley with the jack handle and towels.
