Hey Karlton, I am having the issue you mentioned with the fender liners. I was told to heat it up with a heat gun and just stretch it out so it fits again. Curious to see if the AutoHQ guys will share their secrets

They should stay in place, my front 225's have eaten thru my (unrolled) plastic snap clip thingies and the fender liner is still good. Thank the Italians for inventing the arch i guess

A few of our customers just take the front fender liners out. Or, they just dangle..

I think you may be a bit off on your facts sir, the Etruscans kind of used them, but the Romans were the first to really incorporate the arch into the architecture of the time.

DID YOU KNOW THAT?!
NOW YOU KNOW!

you can invent anything you want on paper, but it takes ***** to actually attempt to build it successfully

I am so confused right now. Are you saying the Romans only refined the arch on paper? Have you ever seen Roman architecture?

/boggle.

Oh word, I get it haha. I was just like... wtf?

Renaissance knowledge ftw. Gotta love knowing sh*t you will only use like... well almost never.

P.s. Brian, sorry I haven't called about those Google sweatshirts, I have been slammed at work and haven't been able to get over to the employee store. However, I went to the internal sales site and it looks like they only have black zip-ups in stock. That cool with ya?

There's still enough inner fender clips to mostly hold the liner up, it just occasionally that it comes down on the outer edge.

Speaking of fender.... I just put in the Turn in Concepts fender braces today. For 90 bucks they made a helluva bigger difference than any other brace. Hell... for bang for the buck suspension awesomeness for a stock car I'd rate it right up there with the rear sway bar and getting better tires.
