^ Yeah I was able to put dubs on my M6 and they done shaved and pulled the fenders up ...
I rolled up tossed them the keys, and said throw some Dees on that bitch ...
Looked around and then told em might as well chop the top ... They install Neonz too if you wanna floss it like that ...
Then XZIBIT came out and said you'e just been pimped ...

hah we drive evos - they are the epitome of rice ..
And yes they do a great job ... I believe they have an option of rolling or shaving ... Not sure if there is a difference in price - but the shaving/cutting I saw was really done well ...

majorities of shops can roll your fenders for you for a fee of course...............

cool then O0

i prefer shaving. too much sh!t can go wrong with rolling (bubbling, flaking, rippling, etc....) plus shaving will provide the most space.
mah wheels needz all the space they can gets.
17x9 aggressive as f0k......with this funky british offset that is "supposed" to be 35 :roll:

If its 17x9 and 35mm should fit np .. What kind of suspension are you on?

shaving is not that great since you have chances of rusting and even more cracking than rollin............

do u recommend rolling?
i mean i get mixed opinions. some people say roll, some say shave.

after they are done shaving i can just touch it up, right?

also, is it possible for me to do it myself with a dremel?

Thats what they will use for the shaving ... You can apply a spray of clear to the affected area or primer if anal (just dont get any overspray lol) if you care about rust ...

yea, i was thinking of using touchup pain after they are done.
or maybe just some clearcoat. it will not be visible from the outside anyhow.

Awesome...if you go to F1..talk to one of the 2 guys in charge..Chris with the glasses and tell him the Thai guy with the white 335i on iForged's and black Evo with gold Advans sent you.

They were going to shave my fenders on my Evo for free if the wheels were going to rub, because I didn't want to raise my car up, it was on the lowest thread on the coilover.

I know they've worked on Evos before as myself and IS2000 go to the shop. But I've seen them shave or roll fenders on Evos..just Z's and G's while I was there.

That's what Marcus did to fit those M3 fitment on his E90 and they came out great! His car is definitely flushed to say the least!

Check out the thread "DaveXXXpornstar" did on getting his fenders rolled at F1...I think he gave them pretty good reviews.

BTW his tires still rubed after all this....so make sure you chose the proper tire size

so i went to F1 this morning and had them shave the fenders.
by the time i was done filling out paperwork and paying they were DONE!!!!

A+ quality of work. took less than 15 min.
now all i need is touchup paint to make sure ther is no rust.

anyone got a hookup with touch up paint for a wicked white evo? ;)

Touch up paint..online would be the best bet. Online sites at Mitsubishi dealerships.
