How did you shred the fender lining is what I'd like to know? Did the new wheels/tires do that?

He did a GT front conversion and hasn't replaced the fender liners with the GT version yet.

oddysey knows, I did the bumperswap,but i never swaped out the fender lining and i was doing a freeway run with my buddy on 680N headed to Sonoma, around 120 i herd an AWFUL noise, i thought i had a knock or something slipped out of place. after about an 2 hours of driving, i got to Sonoma to fill up and saw my fenderwell, er what was left of it, just resting against my tire.(not on these wheels) so i tucked it back and put a couple more pins in it. i REALLY need to get the GT stuff.
