BTW....not for looks, for function/protection

Should i remove the trim strips around the wheel wells on the crx?? They look problematic for causing rust... because moisture/**** gets up in there, and becomes trap, and never really gets out....

What do you guys say??

 

I say take it off!

 

I think it's kinda fugly

 

take dem ***** off!!!

 

because they are 'fugly' or because it makes problems for the car?

 

when i first bought my 91 civc hb in 1991 i saw that those would definitely cause rust . i ripped them off as soon as i got home . now everyone else i see has rust holes in their cars and i don`t .still have factory paint too!

 

yeah you should take them off... them thangs do cause rust holes

 

take it off

 

ditch them, dirt and moisture sit inside the rubber and then you get rusty parts.

Honda placed them there because its the #1 place road debris hits when it flies off your wheel.. you might notice a few marks in the paint later.

 

That was my main concern, because chips in the fender well will also cause rust

 

You should worry about cleaning up your car first, it looks nasty under there.

 

just bought it 2 days ago, drove it home in the rain, and have been working siince.... SORRY

 

def take it off!~~!!

 

lol,true

 

when i bought my car they were on, but were falling off, so i took em off, and voila, rust was already there! too late for me. but im getting aftermarket fenders ($50CAD a pop) and itll all be good! take em off anyoen the second you can.

 

With all of this rock/salt/sand **** they put down, its going to put a lot of chips in my fender wheels

 

there are pros and cons to each....

with trim in....
pros- protect from rocks/chips in paint..etc.
cons- traps dirt and salt and causes rust

with trim off....
pros...no dirt to trap and less chance for rust
cons...no protection from rocks so youre paint might get chipped


so....which one is better??

 

THATS the question...

Unfortunetly, chips will lead to rust ....
