Front Fenders Liners
So I added spacers to the front, and I am getting slight rubbing from my wheels. Anyone simply just remove their fender liners (I got rid of mine completely when I had my prelude)?

Why remove them if you only get rubbing during hard cornering? Or with your offset and spacers are you getting constant rubbing?

Just leave them on. It will work itself out if it's just slight rubbing lol.

^Since you say you have removed yours completely, have you have any ill-effects from doing that? I fear getting moisture in the fog housings and extra debris in the engine bay.

I rubbed through mine till there was no rubbing! Turn up the music and rubbing all gone. I just made sure it wasn't my fender.

Let it rub itself away and you wont hear it anymore. Looks dumb when the liners are removed.

Those with the rub-thorugh method, do you have any problem with rain/moisture getting into the wire loom or fog lights under the bumper??

^Nope, nothing. Got aftermarket HIDs in the fogs, and they still seal well with no moisture issues. The only issue is the fact that when I have passengers they kinda freak out when they hear something when going around a corner. LOL!
