Fender well covers
Just curious how many people use these? i took mine off cuz it just became such a pain in the *** to keep removing them if i wanted to get around the fender/take the front bumper off...
i dont care for them but i do think it increases cabin noise and theres always a **** ton of rocks getting kicked back by my r compounds.... just wondering who doesnt use them and if they notice increased noise levels?

i still use mine, but i trimmed a ton off each side because of tire rubbing. it keeps alot of the road debris out of the bay and behind the fender.
i just ziptie the front part of the liner, so i just snip and im able to access the front bumper mount, i take my bumper off alot though since its low, every oil change etc the bumper comes off.

There is a thread out there about using mesh instead of the plastic. This causes a low/hi (don't remember) pressure inside the engine bay and people were getting faster 60-100 mph times out of it. I'll see if i can find it.

My drivers side fender liner came off one day, and the following day I had to drive in the rain all day. There was actually no water that got into the engine bay, then again I avoided all the big puddles I could I would definitely keep the fender liners in there if you have them.

We have had multiple cars trailered to the shop with fried PFCs, that were all missing the driver's side fender liners. Cars all stopped running suddenly after driving in wet conditions. Can only figure water splashed up on the diagnostic boxes and shorted out the PFCs.

Yup, from someone who lives in Rainsville (AKA the UK), they are sort of needed! Wouldn't dream of running without them tbh.
It's my understanding that they also help significantly with cooling - seal the bay and maintain the area of low pressure inside it that encourages air to enter throught he heat exvchangers - i.e oil coolers, rad, IC.
It does bug me how there's a mssive gap in them at the front though, makes me want to get the arches tubbed...
