Fender Liners?

[lakeside]

Any thoughts on running with or without the plastic fender liners?

For aerodynamic reasons I was advised by a winning Ford team to keep the fender liners in place.

Steve, did you just cut a hole for the brake duct hose?

 

[steveespo]

Yes just trimmed enough to get the hose in to the area above the splitter.

I asked Dean Martin the same question as the GT4's come without a rear liner and only the rear half of the front liner. He said no need for the rear but use the complete front liner. He did his own testing in a wind tunnel and discovered that having the front liner was better.

Thanks for sharing.

For those that don't know, the top of the tires are moving at exactly *twice* the vehicle speed. This is why aerodynamics in the wheel wells matter.

I was about to cut my front liners to copy the GT4's until I talked to Dean. Glad I didn't destroy perfectly good liners.
