Haha that fender rolling video is hilarious mostly since I have no idea what he is saying, but it does get the point across.

Never really liked those wheels in 17s seems like a wheel that needs more wheel than tire, to each their own though.

Front lips like this are so popular, especially for aggressive fit rx8's, which made me not want to get one but damn, they look/sit so nicely!!

Looking good munch!!!

anyone know wtf to do with the front fender liner after you roll the front fenders?

2 of the places where you'd normally snap the liner in place are gone so now it hangs down and it freely lies on the tire...

what have you guys done about this?

you take them off. i took mine off, but only the portion that is the upper part that goes all the way down to the rear of the fender.

You also have this option. Obviously you need to acquire another set of fender liners, but between other users here and local junkyards this won't be hard or expensive.

what about the protection for the oil coolers?

edit: i went to look at the fender and im guessing you guys removed the red part but kept the blue part:

I only have the rear portion in place to prevent rocks/debris from landing in the fender. Think about the direction the tire is traveling when you move forward, and the likelihood of oil cooler damage. You would be more likely to damage them driving in reverse at a rapid rate than going forward so, unless this is in your agenda, you should be fine
