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.

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
