Default Fender liners on rolled fenders?

Both mine and my buddy's civic has rolled fenders and no fender liners. That sprays water and dirt all over and looks like crap. I got my car like this so I don't know how it's supposed to be.


I can see where the liner mounts to the car, but the fenders are rolled so I don't know if the liners attach to the fenders or not. If they do, can I still just buy liners and put them in? Or will that flop around too much? What do you guys do with rolled fenders?

If the fender has been rolled there more then likely will be noithing for the liners to clip to.

If you want liners that bad you will have to replace the fenders.

When I rolled mine, I kept the plastic inner liners....but had to trim the front portion because it didn't have anywhere to mount to.

I'm curious on what your guys' opinions are on having fender liners or not.

Stops rust, so it's a plus for me.

Good point. I just want to slam my car. I just love the look of a slammed car. I'll need to roll my fenders. My tires already rub and I'm not even that low IMO. So I'm just thinking about not even putting them in. Especially reading this and seeing that it'd need some modification. Also I think my tires would rub on them, right?

Prep and spray the backsides of your fenders with bedliner. Problem solved.

water doesn't just go in your wheel well without a liner, gravel, water, mud and road tar will get in your door jam and in your engine bay also.

in my opinion, it's not worth it. justmy2cents

This is very true. I can tell the difference in the sound the rocks/stuff on the road makes when flung into my wheel wells with fender liners (it is much quieter with them). Plus, without, grit can DEFINITELY get in your door hinges.

Yeah, no doubt. I get some mud and what not in there. I just spray it out every once in a while. Maybe I'll just modify the liner so that it covers that part. I'll figure something out..
