Wheel Well Well Worn

[AC Relay]

I was parking the car and the front went over one of those parking blocks and to make a long story short it caused the engine splash guards to come off and I had to detach them from the bumper to drive it home. I have since put the bumper back on and I have found out where to buy the clips that hold the guards in place underneath. But I have a new problem as a result. The wheel well liners tend to rub the tires at high speed (I assume since the air can now get up there and deform the shape of them). It was about 3 months ago and I would have fixed this a lot sooner but for financial reasons. Now it would appear it would probably be best to replace the liners, but I can't find them anywhere online.

even if it rubbed, it should still be ok, if you bolt everything up the way it was, then it should hold it in the right place... if not , dealership, wreckyard... wreckyard would probably be the cheaperest...

I may have been vague in my description. They are rubbed clean through, They look melted and only cover about 1/2 the well anymore.

..aww... then it is junkyard time...
also you might find a similar car, avalon solara, accord...etc, and just drill holes and cut so that it fits... its not a precision part you are trying to replace, as long as it bolts in,not loose or falls out...and keeps dirt out, you will be ok...

junkyard, 5- 10 bucks a pop, probably the only piece that really survives a front end collisions...
