Does anyone know how to replace the inner fender liner? Mine is all ripped up from the bottom, is hanging... I need to change it.

Is it only inner fender liner clips, and a few screws, do I need to remove any of the body parts to get it all out and replaced? or take the wheel off? :run:

It's just a few clips and screws. It would be easier if you could jack up the car so that the side where you wanna replace it is hanging so you have the extra space to work with it. However, I've done it without taking apart the wheel and jacking up the car.

I just replaced my aftermarket one with an OEM one yesterday. The OEM material is much better. Plus, you might need a screw and 2 bumper clips for the bottom part that attachs to the bumper. The aftermarket one didn't have a screwhole so when I ziptied that and bottomed out, it just tore it apart. I thought the front used fender liner screws but those didn't fit so they have to be bumper screws. I didn't have any of those so I just used zipties and I didn't tighten it too much incase I bottom out so the fender liner has some flex and the ziptie won't rip the plastic apart.

you don't need it to begin with, if its falling apart and you don't wanna hassle with it tear it

If it's the passenger side, then you should replace it as that's what keeps your intake air filter clean and if you have a CAI, it keeps it from getting wet when it rains.
