yeah I would imagine without them you run into electrical issues being that turn signal wiring is right there.

Are your fenders rolled? If so they were probably removed for clearance. I would get them and re-install them. Too many possible issues with electrical.

This is contributing nothing to this thread, please stay on topic. This is about Evo's not supra's.

If you don't have the fender liner it can definitely cause some major issues, a lot of wiring runs through the fender wells.

Are you guys talking about this? (pic below) If so, then as you can see, I'm missing part of the driver's side as well. Should I get it replaced, or is it not missing enough to justifiy its replacement?

yeah, that the exact part that I'm missing right now. Thank you for your replies. I'm going to get it asap. I wonder where can I get them for good price? I'm thinking order them through carpartswholesale.com. Do pepboys have them?

Thanks

@showboi_x: I think the prior owner install a wide fender on my car. I think that's why he took it off. I did not pay attention to the liners. I did not find out, after I took the car home. Lol

RAPTORD, please replace that if you can, it looks awful, and I think there's cheaper fender liners out there (not OEM) that people can buy. I would not drive without them.

Just checked carpartswholesale.com; they have them for ~25$

I'm guessing this is the right part? It doesn't look long enough to go around the whole wheel well, it seems to go from the front to the top of the well?

Be careful with carpartswholesale..... I rebuild evos and I ordered fenders and such and it said evo....... But when I got the parts they were allllllllllll Lancer stuff... Huge headache. I even called and they were like, you received the right parts.... So unless someone else has ordered from here and had a different experience I would find them else where. Just my 2 cents
