Being an old hippie from the days when rolling your own was part of life, I rolled my own fenders 3+ years ago. Here is the link for where I rented the tools

http://www.rollyourfender.com/

The tools was not set up to exactly fit the Porsche lug pattern, but I made it work. They may have one now for the Porsche pattern. Really wasn't that hard to do. Unfortunately I don't have pictures and the car is in the garage as i am droppng the engine due to an intermix problem.

Here is my car just after I bought it.
Suspension is stock, but the fenders are rolled.
wheels are 18" kinesis, offsets unknown

If you guys want a specific picture let me know I can go outside and snap a couple, as long as you don't mind crappy cellphone pics

No joke. That actually works. You use the bat to roll around the inner part of the fender.

the rear of my 03 C2 seems to have a partial factory roll (at the top of the wheel arch). is that how the older 996's are as well?
