Default Lexus ISF Skid Plate

Since lowering the ISF, the front skip plate (highlighted in Red below) makes a horrible noise when I hit a bump or drive over a lower section of the road (road in my city Calgary, Alberta, Canada sux).
Anyone has suggestion how to reduce the horrible noise.

You could remove them? Just 3 or 4 push-in style clips.

They are just plastic and will eventually wear down. Like above said remove them.

I took mine off, was a few 10mm bolts. Just put the bolts back in cause it supports the under fairing.

are you sure its those flaps and not your fender liner?

i lowered and one section of the fender liner started rubbing when i was reversing at a certain angle.

The vents were scrapping the tire. i just cut the piece out and everything was good

It's the flaps.. and the fender liner that causing problems..

Right now I have removed the flaps.. it is still making noise from the fender liners.. but it's not as bad..

I used a heat gun to push the fender liner in as much as possible. Would you please take some pictures of what you did with your fender liner.

The "flaps" reduce drag and improve fuel economy as well as top speed if you can remove the speed limiter.
