The side cowls had some new patch panels installed but the installation was poor. If you look at some of the previous pics you can see the rather large gaps that existed in the side cowl repair. Since these panels were fairly cheap, I splurged for a new set and installed them as well as new inner kick panels. The installation was fairly straight forward. The transitional area at the firewall threw me a bit but after looking at my stock truck I decided to close it out with a metal plate instead of using the typical rubber closeout used on the stock build. Hopefully this won't cause problems down the road with the fender fitment (it did not look like it would). If it does, then I'll cut it out and modify it later.
