while there is a little fabrication involved it is pretty simple. there are about five spot welds on each side of the apron where it meets the fender. there may or may not be some on the inner lip facing the engine as well. I have always drilled the spotwelds and replaced with screws or Zus Fasteners/ cam locks etc. recomend reenforcing the apron either way

Correct, the August 2003 issue (the one with the blue V8-powered bug doing a burnout on the cover)....now all I have to do is find it.
