Here's the pics of both fender bulges. I think my passenger side may be worse since I had them documented on the 12th.



Notice on the passenger side, you can't see the bulge at all from a simple glance from the front of the rig....




But put a straight edge to it and it tells the truth. the passenger side fender is flat until you get to the crumple zone, where it turns outward. At the end of the straight edge, there is at least a 1/8" gap.




You can easily see the driver's side bulge even at a glance from the front of the rig....




The driver's side bulge is different from the passenger side. It is showing on both side of the crumple zone. Holding the straight edge to the fender in front of the bulge, the whole thing has a bit of a dip to it, from the fuse box bracket up to the crumple zone. Holding the straight edge across the bracket and up to the crumple zone, you can see that the bulge is the same height as the bracket (approx. 3/32) and behind the crumple zone, it is about 1/8 " from the straight edge to the fender.


MelFeliFJ-I also have that little dimple. You can barely see it in my photos. If you look REAL close at the photo of the passenger side with the straight edge, go straight across from the red arrow pointing at the crumple zone and up to the top of the fender, there is a tiny dimple. It's hard to see in the photo, but it's there. I'm thinking it's probably a defect in the stamping and not just mistake in the assembly.
