Rolling Fenders... easy way to do it?

While my suspension is off, i'd like to fix my rubbing problems.

Any easy way to roll the front fenders without removing them or ******* up the paint?

use a wooden base ball bat and hold it to the lip and slowly keep working it in pulling the bat up to push the lip in if you do it slow and take your time your wont harm a thing ive done it to lots of cars but be sure to keep the amount your pushing in at a time even with the rest of you will get krinkles

Yup, baseball bat works great, just don't expect the bat to look pristine when you're done.

if you want, you can also use a heat gun to help the rolling process.
