played around with the new fender roller, added, 20mm spacers for z brakes, rolled all 4 fenders, pulled the rears about 3/4 inch and it looks pretty nice all flushed out. barely clears with 2.8 neg front and 2 neg rear camber but no rubbing

I can't really tell, but it looks like the rear quarter panels buckled a bit from the pulling, or at least you appear to have a dent where they usually get one from pulling.

1 side had previous damage in that area, the pulling actually looks like it may have smoothed it out some, but not much. The side that didnt have damage still looks pretty good, no dents but it could be a bit smoother. We did my friends car 2 days before mine and it dented on both sides in the usual area, he wanted alot more extreme pull than i did though.

Its about $250 shipped i think. I recommend chipping in with your friends or asking if people will pay you to do theirs when you get it ect. Otherwise its pretty pricey if your just gonna do your own fenders.

Edit* This tool is NOT needed for minor rolling purposes-extreme over kill, a bat or hammer will work fine, for super flat rolling and mostly just for pulling is when you need this.

I went to their website. The picture there looks like it's only meant to gradually roll the lip in... not to actually flare the fenders...

well, I dont know that they want you to flare with it. I do know that we have sucessfully flaired out 2 S13's and 1 S14 so far with good results. And i know many others use this exact tool to pull as well.
