Default Front wheel well screens

Following up on another thread:

It appears that the opening to the wheel liner can also be enlarged for increased air flow; has anyone looked into this?

Thank you.

One bolt through the plastic in the top to hold it and one at the bottom.

Perfect. Thank you. Assuming install is just pulling the fender liner back and removing the frame to mount the screens?

Thats one way I think you could do it. The easier way is do it when you replace your radiators.

Actually got through to him before I saw your response. Very, very cool guy indeed. Put my order in and gonna have it done along with the front screens and the pinning job/water pump/etc.

Hopefully I'll be headache-free for a long time to come thanks to the preventative stuff.
