ok so, my fender well liners dont fit very well it seems like they are too short and ive tried to get em back in and its not going to well, could i use a more flexible plastic and make my own or if i bought new ones would that work better?

 I need to take mine out or trim them, they rub pretty badly.
I'm just not a fan of spraying road grime into the fenderwells, hence the trimming.

People who take out their fenders are crazy people. I just let mine rub, doesn't bother me. Vulcanized rubber beats ABS plastic.  |

Apparently I've been letting mine rub for two years since I lowered it more, so I am right there with you bud!
I actually rub on the frame at full lock since I have an '84 Z28 so it doesn't have the narrow steering stops that the IROC boxes got. I do have the fast ratio though.

| Mine actually rubbed worse at stock height. Rubbed a couple holes in it. Since I dropped it the rubbing quit. |

| How about mounting to the fender, then drilling new holes in the plastic? I did that on one of mine. |
