Engine bay fender holes

[Lsxphil]

Has anyone boxed in the fender holes in the engine bay and done away with the fender liners ?

I'm planning on doing the same, do you know if anyone sells a kit which can be welded in or do i have to make them custom.

Check this out, I'm not really into the cover type of things but a more structural. They are cool tho too cover up the holes.

There are more pics just click right.

I have a set of carbon ones just like the above, haven't test fitted them yet, but seem fairly decent.

Got them from a guy (possibly the same person) on rx7club

I've seen drift guys use preformed trailer wheel arches, bit agricultural but it works

Or you could do it hot rod style with a bead roller and sheet metal, in my opinion it would look a lot less 2002 than too much not quite right body filler.

Nothing to do with me, but similar to this: https://www.rotboxmetalworks.co.uk/product/beadrolled-tubbed-wheel-arch

Aren't the arch liners meant to help with brake cooling or something?

I know the have a channel in/over them that seems to pull air in from the front bumper to the vents in the wings - took long enough getting them back on the other day

Surely Mazda did that for a reason?

All of the front plastics work to push air to the brakes, then the wing vents draw it all out

Sweet, I though it looked too much to not be functional.
Glad I Put the pre 99 splitter on vs the 99 that was on the car, the front ducts actually line up really well now

Here they are placed in to position.
Was on my own so couldn't get any photos of them properly on, but you get the idea.

 

[jack.am]

They look really nice, is there an FRP version?

Just spoke with the guy who makes them they are $265 inc shipping, lead time is around 6 weeks.

For 2 sets he will do them for $500

Anyone else want a set?
