Why do you to remove them. I know not having them can cause cooling issues on a street driven car.

Mine was totally removed because my car is not going to be street driven but maybe once a month. But I did cut a fenderwell to see what I would do If I wanted to keep a piece in for the very reason you are concerned. Here is what I came up with easy and free. Just cut your fenderwell down and use that piece exactly where it was.



hope this helps some, Happy new year!
