Default oem ek metal thickness

ok so i need to make some patches for my em1 fenders wrre some dip **** cut out OG fenders for some gay *** m3 snap in vents. i am wanting to know if any one has an EXACT thickness of OEM fenders for em1. i need to order material in next few weeks.

plz do not tell me to order new fenders. the OG still have vin sticker and prefer to keep it that way. all my body panels have vin stickers as came from factory.

18-22 gauge works... I would just find some scrap metal at the junk yard... OEM should be 22gauge, Eastwood has patch kits, you are going to need to weld/bond the patch in and bondo and paint
