[Chevelle-list] Inner Fenders

[bad66chevelle454 at aol.com]

I took out my original ones...and I dont plan on putting them back in. The engine doesnt really get any more dusty or dirty than when I had them in. Even driving in the rain, I thought the engine was going to get soaked and it didnt. The only thing Ive heard about happening, is if a rock gets flung up, it will put a dent in your fender from the bottom. Hasnt happened to me...knock on wood. I really like not having them. It opens things up and kind of cleans things up. Plus this way people can see the air bags. Makes changing spark plugs easy too!

I had the same issues with my new plastic inner fenders. Not an enjoyable experience.?
