whats the proper way to have the fenders rolled or shaved? i asked a few shops a couple years ago and they didnt want to do it. can i take a dremel to it?

I think your ride looks pretty badass. If you don't want to supercharge it, I'd just save the money for the next car.

I would pick up an eastwood fender roller from The Tire Rack. That's what I used for the pull on my 240 and it worked really well.

I was about to suggest the same there.
IMO fender rollin' is better than shavin' the fender.....

can i rent yours from you for a fee? lol. it sucks to pay 260 for something ull only use once. also whats your suspension setup, wheel size, and offset? that stance looks pretty good in your sig.

1) Keep the 18s I have right now, get spacers for the rear to make it a bit more flush, and install coilovers (maybe). Currently I have Tokico/Eibach. I have about a 2 finger gap right now in the front and rear. Of course, I'd have to shave the fenders.

2) Upgrade to 19s. Right now all the ones I like are in the 1500+ price range. If I do this, probably will not get spacers and definetely won't be changing the suspension.

Go with option 1.

I traded mine towards my cf hatch and hood on my 240. You can sell it on ebay and end up spending about $40, which might be the same as renting one, but you don't have to pay a deposit and you can do it on your own time frame/ terms. I guess you have to have $270 you can do without for a week or two, but it shouldn't be too big of a deal.

My solara had 18x8.5 Gram Lights 57s wheels, +40 offset with a 5mm spacer in the rear, effectively making it +35. Tires were 225/45/18 I believe. If I still had the car, I would do 30mm front and 25mm rear with 1.5-2 degrees of camber.
