I'm a little worried. I purchased a set of AA flares from a member here and when I got them they appeared to have a lot of wave in the metal. I pulled them out of the box and was alarmed by their appearance. The individual who sold them to me said they were a group buy here from AA and sat in storage for at least 8 years. I'm worried. I have spent thousands on my project and am stressed that these flares are flawed to begin with. What do I need to look out for if I got one of these first group buy AA flares and can an imperfections be dealt with in the installation process. Thank you for any responses.

Lay them on the floor end to end and see if they look like a right and left set. If the transition on the forward and trailing edge match you may have two for the same side. AA was making good on these back when the group buy happened.

Find a body guy worth his salt and he will be able to block out the ripples. Like mepstein posted, they are all like that.
