Right front fender liner doesn't match holes.
Not a major concern. It has me wondering though, and is a bit embarrassing. Basically, a few years ago I replaced the front fenders with fenders from an 87 [I think] Trans Am. The LF fender was rusted through. The RF was hit in my driveway. A family member hit it as they were backing out of the driveway.
I got the fenders and plastic liners from a TA in the junkyard.
Basically my question is - why wouldn't the plastic liner line up with the mounting holes? The vehicle was not hit at a high speed either.

If you to it from a TA and you have a formula, the bottom ends won't line up because the TA accommodates the ground effects. You need one from a non-gfx.
