Let me be clear about this only the Challengers had the brace and had it removed.As were the wheel lip mouldings.No brace on a Hemi Cuda

The reason as stated for modifying the fenders was correct.Tire size nothing else.

The stamped fenders (cars with a second tag stating Hemi fender) were folded back but also had a bit of the material removed.(the area where the brace joined the fender was removed IIRC).The overall area that was modified was slightly smaller than the hand modified fenders.The overall look is more squarish than the Creative mods.

There is a part number that I have yet to receive that was issued for the stamped fenders.(still trying to get it)

So far I have not been able to pinpoint the production dates on the Hemi E-bodies.It would be a great help to see how many cars were built after the stamped fender was ready.

I took a second look at the first fender picture the area modified is at least 3 times longer than the correct mods.
