Okay, recently I installed WW's Big Mouth body kit, as many of you have seen. Well, now a problem has arisen that is causing the passenger side front end of the kit to become unattached from the mounts on the wheel well. The cause appears to have come from something in the engine generating enough heat on that wheel well to melt the splash gard around the wheel well that the kit attaches to. A large portion of the wheel well, closest to the front end mount has completely melted away, the rest has become very brittle, and an attempt to move the front end mount in a little more only cause the hole to break out.
I have a cai and I am guess the heat from the engine bay is some how escaping through the gap around the intake. Is this a common problem? Also, any suggestions for a workaround mount for the front end, possible using some kind of anchor to the frame as oppossed to something plastic? Please let me know your ideas. I would like to avoid buying a new splash guard as I am sure it will melt just as this one has.
