This car came to me without a lid. This was my first time to run one without the hatch lid. I was unsure how it was gonna turn out. Honestly, it did not seem to make a difference at all. So in the future, it think I will discard them on stock rear builds for the sake of convenience & keep it on if do a leaf job.

If you are not shortening the car, smash them in enough to bolt or weld them to the inner fenders. If you don't, they will tear off.

Without proper kickers, the belly thing is common.
