Fiberglass Fenders ?

[Mikerod16]

Ok, so i have some mcniel racing front fenders. I removed my stock fenders and the wheel well (plastic thing). Do I have to leave this off? I would rather not have all the dirt and water going up into my engine bay. and also, where should i mount my vacuum canister at? (small plastic vacuum sphere). Is there any alternative to the wheel well thing?

Edit: One last question, How big of a spacer should I get for my wheels? they are 35x12.5x17. I was thinking 2" becuase stock spacing would look weird.

I left mine in and trimmed the left over platic away. I will get some pics tomorrow night for you.

I didn't fully remove the inner fender, just trimmed them until they weren't closing the wheel well back in if that makes sense. I used thin rubber material (would prefer 3/16" solid as opposed to the drawer liner I have) and cut it to fit and fill in the gap.

What should i use to cut it?

I used the air body saw (think mini sawzall) in the pic, but a zip-disc or cutoff wheel in a grinder will work, even just a few pass's with a fresh blade in a razor knife should be enough to do the job.

Mikerod16, would ya mind posting some pics of the fenders when you get a chance? Mine are also McNeil's but have a much larger rise then most I've seen and would just like to compare.
