Personaly I would have a Body Shop do it... But i've heard it can be done at home with either an expensive body tool or using a 2x4 and rolling it under the fender along the wheels.

Gonna have mine done at a body shop.

Here's kind of a <a href="http://www.carcraft.com/howto/1043/">tutorial</a> from Car Craft on rolling fenders...I remember seeing an article somewhere that used a wooden baseball bat, but I don't remember where.<br>If I had a decent paint job, I think I would have a body shop do it as well, just to eliminate the possiblility of scratching the paint up too bad. Murphy seems to always make sure his laws apply to me!<p>
Hope this helps.

a 2x4 doesn't exactly roll. I've heard the baseball bat idea works pretty well.
