I've been watching this thread in the eventuality that I'll be installing these on my car. All the posts for pros and cons are appreciated.
What I really like is that people are willing to figure out how to fix a problem and post solitions, not just bash the product.

Nicely done Larry!

Hi again guys,

We have made some slight changes to the design of our inner fender braces to fit the cuda and challenger seeing as they are slightly different in design. Here is a couple of pics of the mods made.



We followed along the lines of what Larry has done, but we integrated the addition to our inner fender brace. Also changed the outward facing plate to make it easier to install and weld.





Also if there is anyone has not installed there inner fender braces because they are having problems with this area, contact me at (919) 855-8200 and we will get it taken care of.

Thanks!

Hi Chris - looks nice.  Please explain this change a little better "Also changed the outward facing plate to make it easier to install and weld".  I can't seem to see any change.

Your Cuda is still different than mine.  Yours has a plate under the inner fender forward of the reinforcement.
