I was just wondering if anyone here has experience with rolled or shaved fenders. I've heard different things from different people, and I was just wondering if anyone has any personal experience with the matter and which choice is better/safer/easier/cheaper.
Also if you are in SoCal, do you have any recommendations to any shops who could do this? --------------------  |

I have talked about that with tinsmith and he told me shave it is save only for few millimeters (5-6mm) because there is fender weld point and cutting it out should make problems... so he recommend me to roll them. However what I know:
Recycle has shaved them and Urputus has rolled fenders... try to ask them for mode details 
-------------------- No more replicas... This is evolution... This is SS-four :)
