who is riding w/o front fender liners?

just wanted to see who is low enough that they can't use them? I've been back and forth for years, finally I bought a new front driver one about 5 months ago and now w/ my new toyo's they are slightly larger (taller and wider) that I'm gonna have to take it out again tomorrow cause the rubbing is just obnoxious. Has anyone w/ a 3.0 made a place to cover the cai that's held together for awhile?

you just leave the filter exposed or did you build a cover? Mine was exposed for a little over 2 years and i got tired of cleaning it all the fuckin time.

I cut mine into pieces (97 3.0). A small piece to cover near the air box area, and a piece to cover the door jamb area. I basically dont have the top part in.

i just cut a small section up top to allow the control arm to get by. i left the rest cuz i rather my tire rub the fender liner then the sharp sheet metal edges. i dotn rub too often though.

both of my fender liners are gone After putting the 18" TSW Trophy's on - they ripped the liner right the fuk out! So i put it on the lift and used a big hammer and flattened all the sheetmetal that the liner was covering - no rubbing and no f'd up wear pattern any more! (fyi: eibach sportlines and Koni adjustables on the lowest perch...damn low and lovin it R.I.P Trophy's bent to hell

If I had a plasma cutter, they'd be off already. I just bent them flat with the fender. Those little tabs were fucking up my tires.
