Rolling the fenders decreases value?
What the heck you got there, and original 959?

If you do it right, rolling the fenders should not be noticeable to anyone but yourself. I supose I wouldn't cut the lips out of a concourse car, but even that wouldn't devalue one in my mind.
Now chewed up tires and dented up lips - that will devalue a car.

I have used the business end of a wooden ball bat wrapped in heavy duct tape. Do it real slow and in small increments. You don't want the paint to crack. This will only work if your tires SLIGHTLY rub. If you have too much hanging out the tire can actually push up past the rolled lip and pull the lip out as the tire comes back down. This would (obviously) be very bad.
