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 order 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.
