Wheel well liner

Anybody know where I can find a replacement liner for my front driver side wheel well. It's gotten to have a hole where the tire has eaten through it and I can see some sort of electrical wiring behind it that I don't want to mess up. I've heard about others having this problem with lowered fd's too. Is there anything I can do to fix it myself?

After you get a new liner, it would be wise to figure out why you are getting excessive rubbing up front....

What Rynberg said. What's your wheel width/offset and tire size, and how far has the car been lowered?

I think the liners are pretty reasonably priced from Malloy - like $80 or so. Call Ray Crowe at 888-533-3400 and have him look it up for you.

I second the Malloy phone call. Also, all I did was asked him to include all of the fasteners so it would be a no brainer during the installation.

I still have the stock wheels and tires. Suspension setup consists of h&r springs and koni adjustables. It's only on the front left wheel well. Currently, the tire doesn't actually rub the wheel well. The previous owner used to have the car on its lowest suspension setting I believe and that is what caused it to wear out the liner. Currently though, there is just a small square piece of plastic of the liner that hangs down and whenever you hit a decent sized bump and the suspension absorbs, you can hear the tire touch the hanging plastic piece. I thought it was my front bumper touching the ground at first, but then I realized this was the problem. As long as I get a replacement liner I shouldn't have any more problems with excessive wear in the future since I will be leaving my car at the height its at. I was thinking about just doing a half *** job and duct taping the hanging piece of liner up just so it wouldn't rub my tire but I don't want to do that to such an otherwise perfect car. Thanks for the help.

Yeah, while you are down there replacing the liner, make sure the springs are sitting on the highest of the 3 perches on the Konis. Any lower than that is too low. You CAN use the lower height perches at the rear.
