I don't plan to remove them. The front side shields the radiators (unless you leave the fans and shrouds in place, which presumably you aren't; and so removing the liner will radically alter the radiator air flow exit by dumping the air on the leading face of the tire). The rear side on the right protects the fuel filler tube and fuel emissions canister. The rear side on the left protects the washer fluid bottle if you still have it.

Some good info here, thank you all...

@trygve. My thought was to remove the rear part of the liners only. I do not have anything at the rear of the fenders any more. The carbon canister stuff is gone from the one side and the washer bottle is removed on the other side

It was the radiators I was most worried about....

Your statement about the cooling fans has me thinking though. I have not removed them on my car - is it normal to remove these on racing cars?

Yep, pull the fans. They work well sitting in daily stop n go traffic but pretty useless on the race course.
