My car has some shitty stock wheel tubs, was thinking about just cutting the shit out, it's a track only car is it worth my time to tub it? I feel like they hold no structural parts together it's just tin metal. Yeah, My motor might get a little dirty. Any other cons I'm not thinking of? Thanks

If you are not reinforcing the shock towers with a tube frame, I would not jsut cut them out.

as a WHOLE they may not the structial to the car, but without any sort of bracing i see the strut towers flexing a LOT more.

I just want to use the stock core support till it's wrecked of some sort. I might just put tubs in I might not, It depends how i feel about it.
