Default Those whom have removed their fender liner completely

I wanted a thread dedicated to all those who have, or thinking about, completely removed their fender linear NOT just modified it.

How much clearance did you get?
Where you able to lower the car more?
How much louder is highway driving now?

My liners are almost gone I can tell you that nothing is different except driving through rain, your fogs might catch a little water and fog up.

I removed mine once, totally put it right back on. Just the thought of having no coverage or protection around the fogs and the area above the tire is a no no....anything and everything can get in there.

Mine are just tore through but on my old Civic I cut the entire center section out and left the area where water would get into the door jamb. I didn't have fogs. It you could leave that section too.

Yours are currently tore through? I figured you of all people would have removed it entirely since your rear fender covers 1/4 of your rear wheel

I also had no front liners on both of my Civics. Only had issues with a little dampness because moisture seeped through a wiring harness grommet into the driver side cabin floor board.

My fronts are pretty much torn through on both sides... I would complety take them off, but I have the ballast there for the HID fogs.. Soo just gonna leave them there to kinda protect them.

Damn how did some of you manage to not modify the rears, I had to shave a metal tab that was eating my tires, next is relocating the bolt upfront, slammed it yesterday and rode for about 15min, now I feel like i need new front tires
