fender

Would it be bad for the car if I took off the fender lining under the fender? Some of it is dragging on my tire and makes a horrible noise... THere are just like 3-4 screws to take them off right? I just want to know if there will be any harm done? Thx

well I would fix the rubbing part rather than taking a piece off the car that is there for a good reason (keeping road crap/rocks etc) from chipping the paint on the inside of the fender that will cause it to rust from the inside out...why is it rubbing? are u too low, wrong offset rims? too big rims? fix the reason for rubbing, dont band aid it

Well, I don't really know what's causing the rubbing.. the neuspeed sports up front look ALOTT lower then what it's supposed to be (like 1.8") my tires are 205/40zr/17, my rims are 17x7 43mm offset. I don't really have a clue.

i wouldnt, if u do that your fenders ( theres a huge hole leading into the front of the doors) will fill with snow and dirt, theres not much rust protection in there, and the wires to your speakers and power door locks ect will be exposed... very bad idea, asking for trouble... besides if u do remove them chances are you will rubb on bare metal instead) dont do it!
