Tuck 'n Roll

Took it down a little too far.

I could rake leaves.

How hard is it to remove the fender wells?

Will I fuck anything up if I take them out?

I wouldn't suggest removing the fender wells, I had mine torn out because I reinstalled them improperly, and ended up with fogged headlights. Something about the moisture getting in easier from the tires when raining. also, your gonna hear alot more pebbles shot up into the frame and stuff, can imagine the potential rust problems in the future from big chips up in there. looks sick, how can you drive like that? and will the rear go any lower, to even it out? gotta love the adjustable coilovers.

It's protection for all the components in that area from the elements as well somewhat of a sound barrier.

I don't think they're hard to remove

Your tire will throw shit all up inside the fenders with the liner gone. You'll have to clean your air filter alot more often too.

Looks really good. How bad does it rub?

Due to my laziness of not raising it up to a manageable level, I've managed to fuck up the lower cusco strut bar. pretty good.

Thanks for the tips from experience.

I could take the rear down a lot more, but I'd rather not ride around like this.

I wouldn't remove the fenderwells. They protect your fenders from outie dents from rocks and debris. Just trim a little out of the top. I'm impressed how low you can go with the tiens...if you feel really couragous you can cut holes in your car for the upper controls arms...like this



BTW, I love your car! One of my favorites.
