Looks pro and works great. Takes a little time per each wheel well but I spread it out over a couple weekends (did the rears first and then the fronts).

I've done much harder projects...this is one of those that I'd do again if I had to. It's just a little timing consuming and you have to work upside down.

Dean, your projects are always so involved but always look great, I'm sure. We don't have the luxury of Ca weather so even though I have an old oriental under the car, it's still too cold to be on my back that long, hehe.

I do think neprene is probably the best stuff to use. Thanks!
