VR6Pete 1,455 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Shouldn't cost that much at a body shop to be honest, and more than likely you'll only use it once I'm sure there was a guy on eBay that hired rollers out to people as opposed to buying one too. Link to post Share on other sites
