I hit a cat the other day and it messed up my front left inner wheel well and then i drove some more and it melted the plastic a bit. I wired it back today. anyone know the part number and an approximate price.

i have about a 1-2" gap between the fenders and the inner linings. so far, no probs and it's been like that since March. plus i have a CAI. speaking of which, i should probably look at cleaning that filter.

ok, here are some of the pics of the damaged fender lining on the passenger side of the car. you can see the big gap there that would allow a lot of moisture inside the wheel well. the broken piece of the liner. the screw hole ripped and now doesn't stay in place.now the fixed liner on the driver's side, your vibe should already look like this. i used flashing for roofing and made a patch. i'll get some pics of it so you can see what exactly i did. but i folded it in half and drilled a hole to reinforce the screw. this is looking at it from the floor.
