      neat tool, yet wonder how itll do with thick double layer fender lip. i.e. ls430, etc.

      btw i used a heat gun and the fender dolly to flatten the thick lip on our bB after rolling the fender and did just fine.

        yeah I'm worried about that too, thats why I was hoping some else tried it already, but I'll test it out in the corner before I do the whole thing

        I think a double fender might give it some trouble.

        I got mine pretty flat too, I'd say 90%, but there's still some room for improvement. and after the lips are complety flat I plan on pulling the fender some more with the roller.

        on a side note, does anybody know of a place that custom makes spacers at a reasonable price? I have 15mm now, but I'd like to get 18mm and I've yet to see them. and I'm don't feel like doubling up spacers to get the thickness is a good idea.

            I got the fender finisher, but I'm not that impressed. I bought it used off ebay, and it appears to be bent open from trying to apply to much pressure on the lips. so I doubt it will be of much use to people with the double sided fenders. I managed to bend it back to where it should be, but chances are it will be out of shape again in no time. so I'm gonna see if I can re-inforce it better so it can hold its own. If I get a chance I'll take some pictures later, but it pretty much looks the same as in the ads.

              Just bought this today, imo it wont do mush for the rears of most cars, but should work nice for front fender since alot are pretty flimsy and using a roller usually ends up giving it a lil pull. For someone who does alot of fender rolling im sure it will come in handy for certain jobs!

                  Yeah.. this thing is mostly for thin fenders.. but tbh most guys on here want to pull their fenders somewhat so they're gonna need a roller anyway.. but this thing is a great tool I'm sure.

                          the fender roller is alot better tool, but this one has its uses as well. like it was said earlier in the thread, its more suited for front or thinner fenders.

                            Been using this for front fenders, done about 5 cars so far and the thing works amazing. Especially for people not looking for their fenders to flare out a lil, which the roller does!!
