Is it bad not to have an inner front fender?
Is it bad not to have an inner front fender? Driving through a berm of very hard snow The right inner Front fender was torn off. Also the front bumper cover was cracked on the right-hand side. I think that can be fixed. By me!
What will happen if I drive as it is? Will components under neath the fender be damaged? Thanks! PS I have the inner fender and it’s pretty much on damaged.

I would think water is going to splash up onto places you might not want but I don't know how bad that is.

All I have left to take pictures with is my iPad. I have some but they won’t post to this site as it is they have to be reduced. Can you tell me how to do that I can’t figure it out.
Looks like the front bumper cover is cracked too. If left by itself it will eventually shredded to pieces. So that means the shop has to do the work. They want $900 for the inner fender and bumper cover.

Yeah I’m worried about water getting in the engine and the electrics under the fender and the bumper cover. So it’s got to be fixed right. I could just drive it on sunny days I’m retired I just need to go shopping and run errands. But eventually it would be used in the rain and that might be trouble!

There's various aftermarket parts out there that are waaaaaaaaay cheaper. I used aftermarket inner fender liners on my 2007 and they fit okay. Good enough for the 20ish dollars they cost haha.

Other issue to be concerned about is rocks/salt being spun off the tires and hitting to paint. Once chipped rust will start to form fast. That's one of the major benefits to those guards is it blocks the rocks from contacting the metal

Thanks for that last post that’s what I need to know! And what I suspected. I’m just going to have to bite the bullet.

Like Dodge Aries K says, they're dirt cheap and I don't think it would be a bad install after having replaced my headlight bulbs. It's low cost/effort vs a lot of damage that could happen as a result of the piece being missing.

quite easy to replace yourself. Usually its only the front part that is shredded or if you are low enough the top part of the liner. Genuine ones are stupid expensive for things that will get shredded up (for those of us lowered). I went with cheap $15 ebay ones per side. But like most non oem parts, i had to adapt it to fit perfectly. Basically i cut it in half, and overlapped it on top of the OEM one. (imagine 2 pieces of paper on top of each other but offset) I did it this way because it didnt quite match 100% on the rocker panel side.

Just had the same thing happen. Ripped out the driver side on a snow bank.
Engine shields are really messed up. Duct taped it all together while waiting for ebay parts. Less than 1/2 the cost of dealer. |

engine compartment pan shields scoop snow in reversing Toyota Yaris
Left and right pan shields scoop snow when backing up...can deliver grit to serpentine belt. Thinking about ways to mod.
