If I ever get my car painted, I'm going to weld the sugar scoops to the fenders to make them one piece. I've seen a couple people do that and I really like it.

That is how it was designed. The part was too complex to build as one piece.

Yeah, that's what I figured. I was guessing that they just couldn't expect the metal to stretch enough to make them in one shot, and the tooling would have been too complicated anyway, so they split up the assembly into multiple parts.

Early cars were plastic anyway, I think it must have taken a couple years to figure it out in steel.
