However, black fenders and running boards were actually the 'standard' and body color fenders were the option according to this. 46 color specs .

No, the black fender paint extends all the way up to the hood and front of the hood side. If you mean like welting, there is not. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 1,501 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 1,501 | I was talking about welting.
