fender headers

well ya besides reinforcement your front end will start to become "unallined" and body will start to shift.
My cars are all low buck so i got some electrical conduate and pressed the ends flat and cut em at angles and painted them,'
They dont look horrific and they dont weigh anything.
It dosnt have to pertect your motor in a crash,
just keep the fenders from shifting around over time from body twist..launches....motor rocking and all the little things.
