fix it or chuck it?

the plastic liner inside my drivers fender is all bent outta shape and is constantly rubbing on my tire, is this peice needed? other than the obvious of keeping dirt from the engine bay.. ive seen guys run their air intake into the fenderwall, so did that mean they had to remove that liner for the fresh air?

DON'T TOUCH IT!!!!

[tmac4t4]

ok...its only rubbing to begin with because the spring caught the edge of it and pushed it down i just cant seem to get it back to its normal posistion

[Stablo87]

I was just kidding, I really don't know the diff. sorry. I would say if you can just leave them on, you said somwhere that you wanted to get low profile tires anyway, right?

[tmac4t4]

i have low pro's..17's...and the car is lowered..im just sick of hearing it rub everytime i turn the wheel or go over a bump..it kind of ruins the whole "tryin to look cool in my mx" vibe, ya kno

I recommend -

Keep it, or replace it (Scap Yard!!)
Duct Tape. Universal fix-all.
A well placed screw.
Heat bend it back.

[Ryan]

Don't even laugh that might work. Heat guns are fairly common...

[tmac4t4]

i know its actually a very good idea thanks ryan

[npspears]

are you talking about the wheel well? (I think that is what it is called)

[tmac4t4]

yeah,,its the plastic splash sheild that lines the wheel well...i actually had to look in my repair manual to see what the darn thing was called

[Daninski]

Let me know if you can fix it if not, you pay shipping I send you a free one. Bestus deal.

[Ryan]

He could pull it from any MX in a scrap yard. The people probably wouldn't know what it is, and therefore couldn't charge him a whole lot.

[Daninski]

Yes the wreckers would work too if there a MX-3 near him. Please Ryan, I'm trying to do my good deed for the day here. Sheesh

Same similar thing happend to me as well, I wound up somehow ripping part of a corner off, so strange. Wound up drilling out a couple holes and using industrial tie-wraps proped it kinda back in the same place. No more catching on my suspension while turning.
