So my tire decided to eat my fender liner because I seemed to be missing some bolts or tabs.

Is it okay to drive without a fender liner? For how long?
It's probably in my best interest to get a new one huh?

Sorry for the stupid questions, just want to know where I stand.

 

a few guys have taken out their headlight wiring by running without liners, I wouldn't do it for very long. If you have to for a short time while you get parts it might be safe, but I wouldn't drive it too long without them.

 

thanks, the remnants are temporarily zip-tied for now until i can get a new one from Honda.

 

its really safe but ur gonna get alot of dirt and crap inside.

 

Been driving without one for last 7k miles. No problems, but you can hear the sand hitting the metal at lower speeds, that's sand hitting the inside of the fender. Also, engine bay gets more mud inside now.

 

No mechanical failure will occur, but dirt will start accumulate in hard to reach spots. Dirt can retain moisture, therefore metal is prone to rust easy.

 

Does the liner need to be removed after rolling the fenders?

 

No. u just need to trim a few inches off.

 

I was driving without mine for about 6 months. Including 3 months of nonstop South Florida rain. No worries.

 

Yeah, the wiring under your car will get severed. I was running without a fender for some time, but I found that the Honda dealership next to me had cheap replacement linings for around $100
