It's a piece of cake RaveTT - use a Haweka rolling machine - Tire Rack rents them - I was told it would be difficult to do, could damage my paint, but it turned out nicely

Ouch! $725 is expensive, especially since I will only use it once.

996turbo is infamous around these parts
I wonder if rolled fenders effect the resale value?

I heard it "weakens" the fender.

i dont think it affects resale....GT2 comes from Germany with fenders rolled....also, if you look at your TT closely, you will notice the front fenders are partially rolled
