How you shouldn't roll a miata fender.
Needed to slightly roll the fenders on my NA Miata, Not paying $200+ for a roller. This way worked fine for me, no more rubbing & looks fine. Did all 4 corners, turned out decent enough.
Cost: $5 for 4loko and monster. Everything else I had at my house.
I don't advise doing it this way. Its not very safe, might shank yourself.
