I also have a spare rear panel that happens to be CBP no fillers or fog.

Did I ever tell you guys about the opossum I hit?

Car was so low it stuck to the front sway for a couple miles until I could get home.

I hit a deer in the same spot with my sol. didnt kill it, although it **** all over the side of my car.

damage wasnt that bad though, busted up my z3 fender(needed a reason to take them off anyway) took out a headlight and wrinkled the hood a bit. I happened to have a stock fender, my new(at the time) retrofit'd headlights, and a farbon hood. so it kinda worked out.

okay i checked your posts. you have a 1.5" drop?


205/40/17 will still make you rub. In the top middle of your front wheelwells is a metal tab/bar that sticks down. If you don't bend that up with a hammer, it can tear up your tires when the shock compresses so much over large bumps, etc. (I know this from a personal experience )

You'll rub the inner side of the lip of the front and rear fenders. They'll only need a tinnnnnnnnnny bit of rolling. You just gotta make it so the lip on the inside edge of the fender along the curve of the wheel cutout isn't sticking out into the wheelwell anymore.

I used to have 205/40/17 with my H&R Springs (1.8" front, 1.6" rear drop)

Cars look hella trashy with no fender liners. Only exception is if you're so damn low you can't even notice.

There are no liners in the rear, so you're not missing anything. The rear wheel wells are just undercoated.

On my EK, I just had them trimmed so they stayed in, but wouldn't rub on my tires.
