I've done more than a few. Not hard with a wooden bat and a hair dryer, just go slow. If you're too freaked out to do it yourself, you can bring your car to my house. It'll take 20-30 minutes per car.

Summit, I work in Campbell and live in San Jose (Blossom Valley area until Feb..then in Almaden). I can probably help you do it...with a wooden bat. I have helped numerous B5 owners with fender rolling. It is not good to do in cold weather though. I would try to hold out for a warm day..using a hairdryer only sorta works in cold weather. I wouldn't want to crack your paint. I have probably done 6-7 cars.
hey ken maybe we should go back to sf again. j/k. that would really suck unless we go like 6am when there is no one on the read.

Ken its seriously easy, do it in your garage, use a hairdryer or heat gun and go slow. No need to pay $$$ for such an easy task.

perhaps a heat gun $20 @ Kragen might work a bit better than a hair dryer?

Damn, I mean DAMN, I should go into that business. I know those guys..I actually bought my sparco race suit from someone that used them as a supplier. They are also the local RECARO dealer.
