Important Technical Information: Fesler Billet makes every effort to ensure that you are provided with

the most accurate and up-to-date technical information. However, all

technical information is approximate and may vary upon application.

Fesler Billet is not responsible for any consequences resulting from

manufacture’s technical mid-year changes. Fesler Billet products

should only be installed by a qualified, licensed auto mechanic

experienced in the installation of such products.

Important Anodizing Information: Anodizing does not produce "flawless" color or finish on any Fesler

part ordered that way. In fact, you should expect to encounter minor

variations (or what some call "blemishes") in the color and finish in

individual pieces. Every Fesler finish is unique in this regard.

Remember, these variations are normal, and do not affect the

performance of the part in any way.

Other Important Stuff You Should Probably Read: Fesler Billet is not responsible for customer applications that are

outside the normal and intended use of our products, including

specific model and year applications.

Fesler Billet designs all parts off original OEM applications. Due to the

vast array of manufacturers for aftermarket parts, it is possible that you

may have to make some minor adjustments to either our part or your

sheet metal in order for the part to fit properly
