I am not sure its a bad issue for the average car, but if you are hard on it (say have worn out a set of hubs or here clicking in your suspension when you backup and go for again) you should at least check for stress cracks in the paint or signs of rust under a crack.
About one in ten I have seen have signs, but most people I am around with Viper's, road race them.
I have often wondered in a hard pot hole could have the same effect in a extreme case.
We used to call Tom Francis for the metal pieces from X's, but we just cut our own on the street cars.
I will see if I can dig up the ACR-X bulletin with pictures.
