i have this on my drivers side.

i think the inner fender is broken on my car so you can clearly see the tank (but on yours is clearly intact)

i have a 99 v6

Hell, I detached mine. It made the engine sound louder/better.

yeah the engine does sound different (in a good way)

i was wondering since the inner fender is a little bit ripped, would it harm the car? or should i leave it as is

My fender liner is like that on the other side, just not as bad, as long as it isn't rubbing I don't think it hurts anything. Water will probably get in there though.

i noticed that when i accelerate, instead of creating a whining noise (like in my friends toyotas and hondas) it creates a more of a roaring sound

maybe its because of the broken resonator

should i use super glue on it? or tape (inner fender) :lol:

Is your Solara a V6??
Cause my Solara didn't have that in the fender well, it's a big empty spot, except the plug for the fog light.
