Is it my eyes or is the fit and finish a bit rough?

Thanks, Rodomo, I thought the same as you. Maybe we need feedback when someone has actually tried to fit them to a car, then we may get a better idea of their accuracy and finish etc.

Do you guys think it would be worth buying on to fix this or should I just fold up a section to weld in. The outer is fine I'm just woried about the inner. This is the only major rust in my hatch
cheers, Dan

The inner is easy as it is virtually flat in comparison.Do you guys think it would be worth buying on to fix this or should I just fold up a section to weld in. The outer is fine I'm just woried about the inner. This is the only major rust in my hatch

Sorry I meant the steped section that goes down to the rubber. how far down does it go ? does it go right down to the cannel where the rubber goes ?The inner is easy as it is virtually flat in comparison.
I just want to make sure all the angles are right
cheers, Dan

On a side note how much of the car are you getting sand/bead blasted and if you don't mind how much $?
