Ordered

Ordered from Levittown Ford Parts — shipped

Part number: ML3Z-16A143-B (LH) · ML3Z-16A142-B (RH) · ML3Z-16152-A (upper, x2)

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.
