Front fender supports and braces

Why this option

Structural mounting points behind the fenders, damaged in the front impact. These have to be right before any fender — carbon or otherwise — goes on, because a panel hung on a bent brace will never line up and will crack in service.

Trade-offs

None. This is a repair, not a choice. OEM is the standing policy for collision repair on this truck — no aftermarket comparison was run, because matching the factory part is the requirement. What's outstanding here is part-number identification, not a choice.
