the parts were cracked and chipped.the weave was the least of the problem.yes it was being painted.i did not want to risk the chance of the repair showing back up.i asked for opinions and got them.anvil is a great company no doubt and as ive said before the customer service is great.i just wanted a non CRACKED part for my car.was that being to picky?its all good my body guy is welding in a steel panel on my original cowl.
i would buy from them again if shipping was not involved.
thanks everyone for there input.the guys that kept saying its in the weave and your painting it must of not of read my original post about the cracks or chipping
