    Is there supposed to be any plastic around the front wheel wells? If someone could post a picture of their wheel well, that would surely help.

    Well actually. There is a liner up top. BUT> If you're standing by the driver door and look at the front of the wheel well there's nothing there. I can see the back of the front bumper. I just feel like there should be something there.

    I'm talking about the liners in the wheel wells, not the flares.

    OME and worth every penny.
    My bumper is visible from the well also. sounds normal.
    You have a liner up top.....right?

    I've re-read thread, it sounds right. I can see my charcoal can up in front of my drivers tire.

    yes you are supposed to have plastic inner fender wells and it sounds like they are missing on yours. very often these are removed to run larger wider tires then stock or for off road styled tires

    they don't cost much for new replacements, rockauto.com sells them for $17.50 each
