Hey there,

Do you guys know what the purpose of the brake rotor shroud is?

Would it hurt the performance or safety of the car if I removed it or trimmed it?

Thanks.

its there to sheild the rotor from crap flying up into ur brakes… its good to have… but not 100% necessary… mine were rusted to hell, so i just ripped them off before they flew off and killed someone.
