Not sure where you are from, but post in your regional section. There are several guys on the site that do it for a nominal cost.

I think the screen name is 69TA. He's got one he will rent to you with a heat gun. Just do a search and you find him.

A fender roller would be best, it turns the lip under and back towards the outer skin. 01 Red WS6 has one, and a few other members too. Check the wheels section and possibly appearance section for more info if needed.

I could be wrong but I think he's looking for a tool to flare his fenders out... not roll the lips under...

The fender roller tool would roll the lip of the fender to give him the clearance he is looking for
