Default Sport the wheel well or rip it out

Just curious how many of you have your front wheel wells in or ripped out, mine got eaten up a little bit from when i had 17's on my ej, so I'm thinking about just ripping them out, just don't know how it will look in there afterwards, also wondering if my engine bay will get dirty as hell from it, thanks guys

IMO if you need to pull those out you are way too low

It was pretty low the the 17's, and whenever I took sharp turns, or reversed down hill and it ate huge holes in my wheel wells, now i have 16's on there, and it doesn't touch the wheel well anymore

From past experiences with not having fenderlining, its not too bad, I think some dirt/sand will get in your fenders and door jams though.

ugh my car didn't have the passenger side fender liner when I bought it, and it sucked. The forward edge of the door was always super dirty, and one time I took the fender off and found a 2" tall wall of dirt and junk built up under the very top of the fender behind where it bolts to the car.

Cut select pieces of the liner away if you have to, but seriously try to keep as much of it in place as possible, especially if it's a daily driver and your area has any significant amounts of rain. Memphis recorded 27 days w/ measurable rainfall in the month of June.
