The Tire Rack fender rolling tool bolts to a maximum of 120 mm stud spacing on the hub. I'm pretty sure that our Boxsters are 130 mm spacing, so it wouldn't fit. Correct me if I'm wrong. Hopefully I can find a shop that has a modified tool to fit Porsches.

Wont fender rolling demish value on any car except on a Honda CRX?

A bat or some PVC pipe can be used to roll the lips. If available, find a portable heat source to warm the paint to prevent it from cracking. Rolled lips = greater resale value because you know the car was used "properly"
