Wheel well Question Repost - Toyota Yaris Forums

So If I take off the plastic Wheel well cover will that effect the engine in anyway?

My tires keep rubbing after my drop so I thought I'd remove it. I figure on the driver side, I'd worry about water in my CAI and on the passenger side my Pulleys getting wet and slipping. On the other hand I remember there being like a metal plate in front of the engine on the passenger side.

I wouldn't do it. It is going to fling a lot more crap in places water/debris should be. I'd fix the rubbing another way.
