It's kind of loose, like its supposed to be bolted into something. I don't know what it does. Can I take it out?

Do you need the "liner" behind that support in the pic? I have only the supports, honeycomb, bumper, and wheel wells (I will be putting my bumper back on after going bumperless for 3 months (accident). I'm going to make new wheelwell mounting pieces (The triangle that is stapled onto the wheelwell for the nose to attach to. So do I need the "liner" that is seen behind the circled support in this pic?

You do not need them anymore. They were there for the "old fashion" style tow trucks, That system is no longer used, tow trucks lift on the tires now. You can get rid of them.

Not sure on how much you need those liners, they are actually radiator baffles, they help direct a constant stream of airflow through the radiator.
Of course having them there helps airflow through the rad resulting in better cooling, but I have seen plenty of Fiero's running around here without them not exhibiting any over heating issues.
I see in your profile you are in MI, your enviroment is probably much like here, now if you lived farther south like AZ, or FL, etc, it might be a good idea to have those baffles in place.

Cool. Thanks for the input! I'd + you if I already hadn't.
