Reply to "Splash guards"

A rear-side front wheel splash-guard might be a clearance problem if you're running big tires and extra camber. To fit 245-50 x 15 tires on 8" Campys (with -4.25 degrees of camber), I had to flatten one section of the left-side cowl drain for full-lock turn clearance. On the passenger side, you'd need to somehow avoid the wiper motor. It's guard also needed a flattening at one bend. This is so common an interference these days of big tires/wheels that one vendor stocks pre-trimmed wiper shields with stock ones as cores. I'd personally do a taped-together cardboard mock-up and run some full lock turns at low speed around the block before cutting metal.
