Well the shop didn't have their own roller, so they rented it from another shop so that was $50, and since I've had two different insurance jobs done in the same location (left rear quarter panel) they had to cut some relief cuts in the medal to get more pull which required them to do some medal work work, sanding and painting which was $375. The other pulled no problem. In the end after taxes and such it was around $500 or so.

$500 for pull, prep and paint seems very cheap to me. They did a great job from what I can see. Do u think a more drastic pull would have costed more?

^^yes, if I needed more of a pull they would've had to incorporate a fender flare which I wasn't willing to do. That amount of pull is about the max the metal will allow without creating dimples/"suction" towards the top of the quarter panel.

Looking at the pics of your cars stance makes the car look like its rear wheel drive with the deep dish! It just makes me think how badass a Solara would be if they actually were..

damn man i keep looking at these pics and your car is looking fresh homie. I'm considering in putting in some 17x9.5's in the front and back with 245/40 r17 tires. Do you think i'll rub? what offset should i go? Is +40 good?

Nope, +40 on a 9.5 with 245's wont even get close to fit.
you need at least +15-+20 in order not to rub and then you can fit a 245/40 with a little camber. a nice pull.
