Except I think my welds are better than JDM race car welds.

What are you doing here? Never had my fender off so I dunno what that’s supposed to look like.

I’ll make the guess that this NA got hit in the left-front and it broke the pinch-welded area of metal that the fender attaches to.

NB example.

Since most “JDM Race Car” welds involve drywall screws and JB Weld I’d say you’re 1000% better.

We call that weight savings. Lack of rod adds lightness!

wut? bro. hahha know you are kidding but I did wonder if it would add weight I just weld not thinking about how much weld wire it uses but an entire spool of wire which lasts me a while weighs two pounds.

I’m pretty sure the benefits will nearly always outweigh (haha!) The additional few pounds.

it seems to have made a dramatic difference. I wish someone with expensive tools would do a test and see if it does increase rigidity.
