Repercussions of no fender liner?
Hey CL,
I was just wondering what the repercussions of removing the front fender liners would be?
I've already cut out a HUGE amount to be at the height I am - tucking until there's like one tight pinky gap from the rim to the fender, and tucking the entire tire in the rear.
What are the downfalls to removing the fender liner, if any?
Thanks!

Does removing the fender liner affect the aerodynamic of the car?, i.e. more air turbulence inside the wheel well? I think the liner itself acts as a wind deflector in some sort of way.
Is a little hole around fender-bumper tab ok? Would I get moisture build-up in the fog light?

Another solution when you remove the fender liners, spray some adhesive foam for protection. I'm not sure where to buy the foam, but my buddy at body shop sprays foam inside the wheel wells on "old" classic show cars, cause some of the classic cars do not have fender liners. The foam forms with the fender/body line, and looks really good.
Now as far as how long the foam (wear and tear) will last, I don't know...guess that will depend on weather, and how much you drive your car. As I mentioned, he only sprays the foam on classic show cars, which are seldom driven.

If the car is ever outside in moisture, it will trap that moisture between the foam and the inside of the metal panel, causing it to rust from the inside out... Saw someone who did that to keep the car from rattling because of a very loud stereo, after a few years, you could see where it was done from the outside - the panels started just falling apart...
