any of you with s13s had those plastic wheel well liners come off when driving? ive lost both, one of which i never touched, so i know i didnt mess it up. is there any special way to make those buggers stay on there? they dont seem to like to. oh, also, the car i get parts from in a nearby junkyard has its drivers side one worn through from contact with the tire (what caused mine to die).

thanks, tim

Mine flew off at 90+. Ripped apart my washer reservior too, and the noise it made coming off was scary as hell. I picked it back up and patched the mounting holes with fiberglass tape.

Yeah both of mine came off. Instead of reattaching them I just ripped them out. Now my smic is exposed. I dont know if its a good thing that it gets way more air flowing to it or if its bad that its completely exposed. Oh well...

And yea it is scary as hell when it happens. The sound made me think i had a flat for a moment...

My right side is in great condition, it's all there.

My left side is missing in action. I have no idea where it is. But it's ok, you can see my hotpipe going into my intercooler through the fender.
