Every since Otter over on TDS removed his inner fenders, almost two years ago, I have wanted take them off. The removal of the fender is very simple.
After I removed the fenders I discovered the mounting holes that left a lot to be desired. What I came up with is a filler plate that mounts over the area where the fender used to be. It is made out of 1/8 stainless steel that has been powder coated to match the silver on the wheels and roll hoops. I mounted it with three screws and 3M double sided tape. If I grow tired of them the fenders can be remounted. The three holes I drilled are under the area where the fender mounts so they will be covered.
I have rode without the fenders since Thanksgiving in dry and wet weather. The airflow coming off the front tire area is smoother now because the dead space has been removed. In the rain you will have a small amount of water trickle back over your outside leg. The water does not splash inside.
The sheet metal shop I had them made at has stored the shape on a CNC computer so if anyone would like a set, just let me know.
The holes below the filler panel are air vents to cool the foot well area that I am going to fill with black mesh.

At this point in life "sexy" doesn't make little Slings show up in the garage, it gets me in trouble.

Where are mine. Lol

Had to do final fitment to make sure. I will send them out Tuesday with markings on them for you to mount like I have plus where the original mount holes are so you can use the original fender fasteners if you want.

Looks great @Slingrazor very sexy indeed !
-
That does look good!
-
I wonder what the filler strip would look like if it were color matched to the Sling!?!?!?!
Sexy looking mod!!!! -

Sexy looking mod!!!!I have a white set to put on the other sling and I know of someone who will be doing his in carbon fiber.
Originally that about matching the color of the sling. -
I think it looks fantastic!

Think I will be following this very closely!!!!!!
-
They don't cost much. I'll send them out for the cost plus shipping if interested. Not interested in making any money with this.
-
I assume we would need to powder coat the way we want. How much would these cost?
-
$30.00 plus shipping. That would be for bare metal marked for drilling. If you have an Alpha Side exit I can mark it for the small area that needs to be trimmed.
-
One very important recommendation I should have put in the original post. If you decide to remove the fender I would highly recommend installing the hood buttons that hold the hold down. When you remove the fender the aft pressure point on the hood is removed. The hood buttons will stop the movement of the outside portion of the hood.

This color really makes them POP...probably a lot better than blue.
The white would probably look good---stand out.............
Like painting the house --- want it to pop but not be gaudy...
I can paint the house just not the Shot.

Sexy looking mod!!!!A real quick check would be some blue painters tape and maybe some darker blue magic marker.
