Default Fender liner

so as most of you know and probably most of u experienced the crazy rain in California yesterday.

was in Westlake village and I guess it rained like 6in from what my wife said.

in any case my car was making a weird noise yesterday and come to find out due to flooding I must've rain over something and it butchered my fender liner on the passenger side and it's now dragging.

ordered a new one yesterday..was curious if anyone has taken it off and replaced it if it's something I can do on my own?

can I remove it and still drive my car until I get the new one in the mail?

thanks guys

Yes it's easy to install. Would not drive it in the rain , wait till it's dry out since all the dirt/sand
will get in. Once you have the old one out clean the area before installing the new one also check the plastic clips.

I agree with it being easy to DIY and not driving in the rain with out. I lost mine last year going a 150ish. That scared the living ***** out of me!!

At 150ish the air acts like water @ much less speed.

When fish can swim across the road, the f stays in the garage.
