Hey guys my front plastic fender liners are prtty messed up from the rubbing. So i ended up cutting them. But on the passenger side after cutting it, i saw a pretty big wire harness being exposed..is that going to be ok? With rain? snow? Dirt?

you can push the plastic, but it might give you little/better clearance if you just cut it

That small white clip holding it in place will eventually break off. I tucked my entire harness up above the upper inner fender rail and secured it in place with a few beefy zip ties.

Are you on air or just in my thread? haha jk jk

I personally wouldn't expose it due to water and such. I know those connectors are built pretty damn good to hold up against weather but you never know.

Yeah I'm trying to go for some coils right now, so I can ride low without rubbing. And the fronts are the lowest cause the tires are touching I'm on 19X9.5 +24 REMEMBER?! So which coils should I be getting?

The size of your wheel isn't the problem, its the shock. You should get Tanabe cause me and a bunch of other UAS users are on Tanabe/UAS
