Metalcloak Front Inner Fender Liners

[doc-ketamine]

Installed one of two Metalcloak front inner fender liners. I had busted some plastic in the stock fender liners when I did some other work so I decided to upgrade. You have to drill into the body to secure the top of the liner, but that's true for several products like this. Went well with a step bit and a rivnut tool.

Unfortunately I fractured a few of the fender clips, guess I'll have to go shopping.

Like what you did there...
. Couple of questions. What Method wheel and offset are you running, and who manufactured the rivnut installation tool

The tool was easy to find by the photo.

I didn't like how the inner fender liner rubbed on / slightly pinched the OEM marker lights and DRL power cables, so I did some custom enhancements. I removed everything, used a Dremel to cut a notch in the aluminum, painted it all up and remounted. Along the way I had to cut off a soft/stripped MC bolt but hey, I'm a gorilla with my tools so it' s on me.
