This subject has come up before and I get a little leary discussing the subject due to possibly irritating the vendors that carry and sell this product but the truth is that they are pretty fragile.
When I first put the front clip on and had the car painted I dropped my motor in and then placed fender covers on the fenders to work in the engine bay. When I was done I pulled the fender covers off I noticed slight creases on the tops from leaning on them.
After my first track day with them I noticed little dimples from gravel and tire marbles that had kicked up underneath from the tires and got through where I had cut the wheel wells.
Not to say I would not by them again because I love the weight savings and will most likely pick up another set some day but If you due choose to buy them I would consider under coating the underneath of them and when working on your engine be careful not to lean on them too hard.
