Default What do you guys do with your fender liners?

So I recently upgraded to coilovers and lowered my car a bit more. It's not slammed, decently lowered, with decent wheel and tire specs (19x9 +18, 235/35/19). When I took it out for a test drive, it rubs the fender liner much more than with my previous drop. I can roll the front fenders a little more, but it seems like the fender liner is the main cause of the rubbing. ALso, since my fenders are slightly rolled, the fender liner isn't tucked into the edge of the fender. So what do you slammed guys do? I see a ton of guys on here WAAAAAAYYYYYY lower and aggressive than me. Rolling fenders is one thing, but I seem to be rubbing more on the liner than anything else. I don't really want to go with a smaller tire either......stretch is not my thing. I don't want to remove them completely, so do you guys cut them? Or do you just them rub until that area is gone, lol? Thanks in advance

You can heat them up with a heat gun and form them to fit, did it on mine when we rolled and pulled my fenders. They look stock again.

Thanks fellas, that sounds a little more like it. I'll try that and see how it works.

Anyone local SoCal has their front passenger side fender lining, I will kindly buy it please. Mine has damages and I would like to put it back to stock. I think all 2GS have the same lining.
