So I noticed something weird while doing a pre-track check last month. My rear left fender liner was replaced under warranty by the dealer over a year ago because the tire ate a hole in it. Looking at it now, I see this vertical gap between the liner and the edge of the fender and also the bottom edge of the liner does not line up with the floor (see pics). At the same time I remember seeing another thread on here that was talking about multiple different parts of rear fenders available for the Gen 5 ACR, potentially different version introduced in multiple years of production. I also looked at the right rear fender (which is original from the factory) and see no gaps.

Can someone with an ACR please take a look at their car and post pics of their liner?

Here is what my left rear fender liner looks like:

And here is my right rear fender liner which looks great:

Looks like your brake pads are getting low there my friend.... or maybe the angle of the pic

Since you and I both track our cars and nobody else seems to have this issue, do you think our tires hit the fender line on the track? Probably on some kind of fast elevation change?

You guys both seem to be running track tires, maybe some extra height is causing interference on both cars? What ride height and tires/wheels are you running? Similar?

I track my car at Laguna Seca and it has a big elevation change at Turn 7, which causes the tires to rub the rear fender line.

Without a doubt.

Also keep in mind that most guys with ACRs that don't track them often have their suspension height set to street level. I have mine set to SRT recommended track height. I have seen pictures of my car during the weight transition and rear suspension is compressed all the way. My diffuser strakes are also worn, so they deifinely rub the pavement during suspension compression as well.

Can you please post pics of your fender liner? Also, is your car an ACR? From what I read in another post here, ACRs have a different finder liner part# than non-ACR cars.
