Well I lost a plastic clip! Not sure where it feel on the bottom of the car. I can not find it! MdsBrain, I now know why you mentioned the liner lol! There is nothing you can really peel off the liner in the first place. I will leave the liner off the car for awhile until i can figure something out.

I said you can swap to a liner from an earlier built car.

Or loose the clips as well lol! As for swapping from an earlier build car, I understand that, but as of right now I do not want to spend the money to get a new liner. I assume it will cost money to get the earlier build.

Is there really a problem caused by removing the liner permanently?

I have seen a few cars that have removed the liner removed . The only thing mentioned was a bit more engine noise. I have had a brace on for almost 3 years now. My liner has a indentation from the bar and the rear of the hood is raised a bit but I figure it is better cooling once I come to a stop. Make lemonade out of lemons
