I did my own for about $50 in materials. Bought 1/8" black foam rubber sheets from a local arts & crafts house. Went to Pep Boys and bought some spray bed-liner (I believe the brand I settled on was from Blue Magic) and 3M trim spray adhesive (same stuff you would use for a headliner). The rear wheel wells were easier to do. Just used a razor blade and carefully cut pieces to fit...a little tedious and it took about 6-7 pieces per wheel well to get complete coverage. Then cleaned up the insides with wax and grease remover and masked off everything with 3M blue masking tape (2") and auto painting masking paper so that no overspray would get anywhere. Glued the panels (sort of like putting together a jigsaw puzzle) using the spray adhesive, let dry, then followed up with 2-3 coats of the spray bed liner. You will need a big sheet of cardboard to spray the panels before you install them. Looks pro (goes within 1/4" of the wheelwell edge but you can't see it/feel it until you place a finger under the wheelwell) and it's working (so far...knock on wood).
