Anybody ever have issues after putting on a TT or ST kit and having the plastic inner wheel well liners either slightly deform, or the bottom under-carriage shield deform?
I had purchased new inner fender wheel liners (front facing sides) and they were both securely on and over time they started to rub on my tires, I had to eventually remove them because one ended up dropping completely on my tire getting eaten right thru. Since then, I also noticed that my under-carriage shield seems to hang pretty darn low. So low that I scrape EVERYTHING seemingly. The only possible explanation I can think of is the liner deformed with the heat. But then again the rear facing liners are closest to the turbo's and heat and they are fine..... My under-carriage shield looks like it hangs lower on the sides because it connects to the front facing liners for support, but I'm gonna have to look closer at it to see if I can visually see if it's noticeably been deformed from heat possibly or something.
If the road is uneven I can here the plastic scraping against the asphalt. Driving downtown is a PIA since some of the roads have uneven surfaces or there is little blobs of asphalt from a halfass pave job and I scrape over those. Of course it's more prominent when I'm braking as under the gas the front end definately lifts.
Just curious though if anybody else has had these issues. It's not a major issue, but it's a pet peeve.
