With the front spoiler trimmed<\/a><\/strong>, I still needed more inner fender clearance up front where the fender liner trim<\/a><\/strong> was initially done. \u00a0This is because after installing my suspension lift<\/strong><\/a>, it put the tires in a different position in the wheel wells. I came up with a solution that did not require a heat gun or trimming of the inner front fender liner area.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s cutting it really close. I need to move the front of the liner forward.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

First I removed the fender liners. Next, I took the small metal screw clips off and traced a new position closer to the fender liner edge.<\/p>\n

I used simple side cutters to enlarge the original hole wide enough for the metal clips to slip in.<\/p>\n

Holes opened up sideways only.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With the new slots, I reinstalled the metal clips in the new position.<\/p>\n

Mounting point has moved towards the fender well area.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here\u2019s a photo of the before\/after locations of the metal clips:<\/p>\n

No more scraping here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I\u2019m guesstimating that I gained around 1\/2\u201d to 3\/4\u201d more clearance along the bottom of the fender liner area. this without the need of a heat gun to reshape the fender liner itself. Now that I have the front lip spoiler trimmed and the front of the fender liner adjusted, the next (and last) thing I need to mod a little more is the OEM front mud flaps. I’ll do this a little later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
