inner fender splash guard

hey i tried searching but no luck. Basically where can i get the inner fenfer splash guard, the plastic thing between the fenfer and inner wheel wells. Sorry if this is confusing don't know corect terminology. Would it be ok to drive it without them on a summer car? The reason i ask is because the PO took them off...so basically when you open the door and look through the opening where it hinges....you can see the tire. sorry if this was confusing...

don't really have money right now just gathering parts list.

That would be the wheel well cover, and sure you can drive it but it's going to fling any dirt water your wheels hit under your fenders. Dirt, accumulate rust etc. Better to put them on, they serve a purpose.

I got rid of mine... but that's because of clearance issues with the Centerlines.

I removed them on the race car, but I pick up an amazing amount of rocks in the well now. Damn gravel paddocks!

Yeah, that is junkyard part. Had to replace one of mine when it fell off on the interstate.
