Post by Audacity Racing »

when i put my bodykit on i had the same problem and so did shaun. all i did was cut off the part that was touching the tire. b/c if you take off the whole thing then your engine is gonna get soaked everytime you hit a puddle.

Happened to me too after my sister drove without the front bumper for a night. After that, I just cut off the shredded part and left the back part intact.

I don't recommend removing them as if you hit a puddle, water will splash all over the crank pulley and compressor and other important parts. Just cut the bad part off or get new ones.

However, the angle I have cut mine off at seems to have created some sort of harmonic frequency so that at certain speeds, a loud whistling noise is heard. :lol:

Speaking of this... same thing happened to me, however, it happened on both sides. I unthinkingly just took the whole things off and have noticed all those symptoms mention with removal and no longer have them.

Anyone have a parts car with the front fenderwells as well as those triangle covers that they mount to in the front?
