WTB: Front Fender Liners for Non-M

Need to replace mine as they got chewed up by running wide R-comps up front. Let me know what you got, used is OK as long as mounting holes are all intact.

Run without the fender liners. It's good for another 1/10th of a second.

LOL, in all seriousness I was actually considering just taking out the liners entirely but I read that it could actually affect the aero characteristics?

Test and see. If the difference between the aerodynamic effects without the liner is greater than the ability to run wider R-comps, then yeah, put it back in.

I suspect the aero effect to be minimal, and having the ability to run wider or stickier tires up front will be far more beneficial than to be constantly replacing front wheel well liners.
