Wheel Well Liner

[SKINNEDR]

Anyone know where I could purchase wheel Well liner for my Backdraft Cobra?
Found for FFR, but not for BDR.

Any experience?

Dex, if you're careful and can handle a razor blade, masking tape and have some patience, you can make your own and do it yourself. I did my SPF by buying black sheets of 1/8" foam rubber from a hobby/crafts store. Then cut to fit for each wheel well (given how they curve, you might need 6-8 different pieces that you put together like an upside down jigsaw puzzle). Clean the inner wheelwells very thoroughly with wax & grease remover, then start on one end and use 3M spray adhesive (contact cement in a can). Trim to within 1/4" of the wheel well lip. And once dry, mask everything off (including the outer painted lip) and spray on 2-3 coats of any rubberized bed liner (I used some from Blue Magic and it worked great).

I will admit that it's a bit of a job and you can kill a whole weekend doing it right. But it works!

Good luck,

You may want to to call Top of the Hill in Livermore CA. I purchased the pads for my SPF. I would ask Craig there is they have something for the BDR. Take a look at mt gallery and you can see some pictures of how we installed it.

I just got done applying Hurculiner bed liner to my wheel wells. It was a pain in the butt, but turned out pretty good. I got 6 coats on it from the 1 gallon that I bought.

Craig Hill at TOTH. I did my SPF last summer and it's still in place. A little pricey but a fine product. 925-449-3330 www.topofthehillpc.com

I used a 2 or 3 inch paint roller to adhere the material to the fender. It worked very well. The pieces were cut to fit my SPF.

Any pictures?
Do they have a website?
Would it be Toth.com ?

I'm going to a local body shop today to see what they charge and when they can spray my wheel wells. I'll post a follow up.

I checked with a couple bed liner places around here and it was in the $400 to $500 range.

Sorry, didn't take any. It's not that hard...just meticulous and you have to take your time and be cautious of overspray. Changing the fuel pump eccentric (what I'm doing at the moment) is a lot, lot more difficult and time intensive than wheel well liner installs.

The material form TOTH is black and about 5/16 thick. You can't even see it under the fender.
