Default Front passenger Fender HOT - can cook an egg on it!

Short cruise around town, maybe 30 min and came home, let the car run few minutes before I turned it off and happen to lay my hand on the passenger side fender and the fender was HOT, I mean real hot, could barely keep my hand there more then a second. The car is quite new to me as many may know, any suggestions? I see no leaks on grpound or other, thanks alll...

Is your fan coming on ? you should hear it. sometimes there is a resister that needs to be replaced (did mine few years ago), somewhat common from what I understand.
Bumpers looks cool.

You say passenger side. Is that right? Front or rear?

When I first got my turbo r I was surprised how much hotter the engine was after a drive. I suspect it is the turbos. And maybe the mufflers and how close they are to the rear fenders.

I wouldn't worry about it.

I think it's your fan.
Anyway, car looks stunning!
What spacers did you end up using?
