Just thought I would ask what peoples thoughts are on welding a cover over the corrugated inner dogleg replacement panel. It looks more factory(kind of) but it also may just look crappy. Just looking for some opinions. It does go a good bit forward and add strength at the expense of some weight

If you look at the inner long kits, there are holes you weld to an already solid long skin. It seems adding just a wrap over and welding along the outside wouldn't do much to strengthen.
