NW shop that could do IND style fender pulls?

Just wondering if we have any shops that could do IND style fender pulls? Anyone know of such?

I'm interested in what this IND-style pull is all about, any reference threads?

There really wasn't any E9X M3 mod shops from 2008 till I left in 2012.

HPF was about it in Oregon. Plus there really weren't any modified E9X M3 owners a few years ago.

I would challenge that notion on a couple fronts. HPF had been more E46-focused; companies that are still around today (and have been): AR Auto Service, Vollgas Motorwerks, BMW Portland (for Dinan)

Never heard of them and never saw them or any cars they put out.

I am talking about on the IND and EAS level which brings me back to my earlier post. Oregon does not have any shops heavily in the E9X M3 platform. I lived there for 4 years and saw nada.

I understand what you're referencing, good counter-point!

Not to revive an old thread, however I thought that I'd mention that my car is currently at Europa Auto Body (off SE Division.) Trying to get a little movement out of the rear wheel arches. The reason I'm sharing, that shop is quite impressive. The place itself is hidden away behind Europa Motors--the parking lot routinely has gorgeous examples from RTGT as it serves as their go-to for all repair.

Does this mean you'll be able to run even bigger spacers on your OEM wheels?

Haha just giving you a hard time. Glad you finally found a place and are getting it sorted out.
