Plastic Fender lining removal?

Riptide67 · 01-26-2014, 08:34 PM

For the lowered peeps, anyone remove it? Mine rubs over good size bumps. I know some g35 and g37 guys do. But have not heard of any 370 guys doing it!

If you have, let me know or post up your thoughts and opinions.

Specs: 19x9.5 with a 245/40 tire. Lowered on BC coils, I love how it sits and don't want to have to lift it any higher.

I trimmed mine where it connects to the fender at the very top. I can hear the rocks being kicked up into the fenders when the tires are cold so I wouldn't want all that junk hitting the front without a fender liner. That's just me though.

Perhaps a trim wouldn't be a bad idea

Hey Derek, I really think its your aggressive offset. Aren't you at a +15 up front? You are really going to need to run some negative camber up there or just have to raise it up.

I forget the members name, but he has an black z w/amuse front and red trim. He said he remove the front fender liners because of rubbing and it had to be trimmed for the amuse already.

I have a full amuse kit and knew it was going to need modified, so that may work out in my benefit anyways. My offset is +15 so it's pretty aggressive up there!
