I'm getting cracks in fiberglass above rear wheel wells. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Hi Mercer77,

I had the same problem on mine, so I installed a simple brace on each side from the shock towers to the inner wheel well supports. This really stiffened things up and stopped all the flexing.

Here's a pic of the one on the driver's side.

Gary Hammond,

I think it was 3/16" x 1.5". I'll check it for sure tomorrow in the daylight. Gary Hammond,
