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 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.
