Replaced the wheel well liner Saturday with help from a buddy of mine.
Didn't buy directly from a "reputable" source, in order to save money, so the "quick install" took about an hour longer than it should have due to having to stretch some sides to make them line up with OEM fitments.
Thing is secure though and no longer hangs onto my tire as I'm driving down the road..
Next project is placing my plenum spacer. I made a sound purchase on this one since it actually effects the integrity of the vehicle, so I expect a smooth install.
Installed a Mishimoto cooling plate and B2 Auto's OEM look hood struts.
I can't tell you all how great the hood struts are! All black and look like they were there from the factory. Easy install with no cutting. Spent ten minutes tops to get them installed.
As for the Mishimoto plate, it did not come with a notch cut out for where the hood prop clips down. I had to use a dremel to make that notch myself. The bolt holes were also slightly misaligned. But with a little work, it looks great!

It was probably meant for the 03-06. The 07/08 Z has that big block where the prop clip is at. The ARC plate fits perfect.

You're probably right. But, to let others know, if you get one, be prepared to dremel. Not hard work at all as it is a matter of cutting a small square out and rounding the corners a bit.
And for $65, the Mishimoto one is still a good deal even having to mod it a bit. That ARC titanium piece is fantastic though...
I did not like having the gauges "in my face" on the "A" pillar. I looked for a cubby solution and did not find anything I liked do I did this this morning.
