The inners were in the car at some point. not sure if the front end was fit with them in. The inners need to be modified anyways cause of the C5 control arms.

TJ can chime in here and say if the inners were fit while gapping the car.

most likely they will throw the fitment off then they can tack on more hours to fix it and make more money isn't that how shops work...

Ouch!

The inners were installed during the initial panel fitment and also for bumper bracket/headlight assembly mockup. The door to quarter, fender to door, fender to hood fitment/gaps won't change (unless you decide to do the bodywork yourself ). Minor adjustments can/will be made to each panel at the hinges, etc.

The inner fenders were removed since they need to be modified for your subframe, but bumpers were higher on the list. We could have installed them and then charged you to remove them at a later date. Another good way to tack on more hours....

Rear Bumper updates.

Rear tail panel was cut and a channel was made for the bumper be recessed in.
The car is really starting to take shape. It really does change the whole look of the car.

Things will get trimmed and smoothed out and it will flow better.
