    Rolling Fenders

    Is there any way to roll the fenders without warping the outside of the fender and causing the paint to chip?

    tape them. it should hold the paint in place. But if it does chip, you can just spray a light coat so it doesnt rust. Or you could even super glue it. No one will see it. And use a rubber mallet.

    Yeah, I stumbled upon it shortly after I had rolled my own fenders. I was like "damn, wish I knew about that beforehand."

    Or....you could get your fenders cut. It's pretty cheap, and possibly a DIY if your handy. For me, the clearance issue in the back was slight, so cutting them did the trick. Just make sure the cut area is smooth and painted well to prevent rusting.
