    In the engine compartment you loose nothing. And up under the fender is just the sheet metal. You loose the inner fender liner... lol

    What size fenders? Do you have wheel spacers? If so what size?
    Also, is it common for the fenders not to match perfectly with the hood/headlights?

    Those were I believe McNeil 6" flair. And at that time I was running 1.25" spidertrax on stock off-road rims with spindles. Now running aftermarket rims and no spacers...

    Yeah I was like damn that's a lot of flair!!! Im just more concerned with them lining up to my hood evenly on the side and flush with my headlights as I am particular about gaps and everything not being even. Should I worry much about this? More pics :) Cant only be 3 people with 3" flairs

    You should worry that it will never be straight if you are the type of person who obsesses over even gaps. Every piece is unique. But thats just a part of the game. All the cars you see online with fiberglass body panels have uneven gaps, drift cars to trophy trucks....can you tell? Dont worry the badass will outweigh the uneven.
