aluminum fenders fitment and lines

all I'm saying is you can manage to work on a car and not cause any damage,but if you plan on leaning or bumping fenders with knees and elbows,dropping tools ,e.t.c. you may end up with dents,dunno

You are absolutely correct. I had to learn the hardway not to lean my elbows on the tops of the fenders while working in the engine compartment. It's a little difficult to notice creasing when using a fender cover. They did crease slightly and it was a lesson learned early on.

Not to say I dont like the product. I love the weight savings and would buy them again.

Just airing fair warning to anyone else interested in buying the product.

Cheers!!

body shop built a nice mustang and had all the prep done.all final blocked out ect.had to send car out to another shop for some engine work.when the car returned the fender tops were filled with a bunch of low spots.they swear they didnt do it.this was steel fenders.
when i was working on my camaro a friend of a friend came by and was tipsy to say the least.he leaned right over and rested both elbows on fender top.i was kinda pissed and let it go for a few minutes.i had enough and said hey i dont wanna sound like a jerk but my whole front end is welded together/fender to valance ect./ can you not lean on the car.he went on for twenty minutes about its steel and wont hurt it.he was shown the door.lol

back to aluminum.my wife had several land rovers and i think they were aluminum.ugly as hell too.

Are 68 parts going to be made? or just 69?

When the AMD sheetmetal first came out, they were on display in the Rick's booth at Carlisle. The tops of the fenders were already lumpy from all the people coming by and tapping on them. These are from 2007.

Sound like race car parts. I can only imagine how many dents would be in my car from servicing to someone leaning, to a pebble on the road....
