Hi Guys,

What did you end up doing for the insides of the front wheel wells. I'm not so certain I'll be able to glue the supplied inner well fenders to the body because of placement with our frame modifications, but wish to install something in order to keep the engine more protected from road stones. It would be great to see some photos of how other people did this, even if it's a standard install. I just have a lot of reservations about the glue and pop-rivet process, and wonder what other peoples installation and long term experiences with it are like.

Thanks!

This one took me a long time to decide, in the end instead of rivets used small hardware just to be able to pull it apart if ever needing to, both seams are almost invisable.In my case thinking down the road some issues function won out over form.The big block does a good job of masking that seam issue.Course this is my .02

Thanks Mdross1. I think what you did is a good idea and I'll follow your lead. Did you glue the wheel well insides to the body of the car as indicated in the instructions?

Seems I am the only one who notices the seam and even then you have to be looking for it.Cannot revive those grey cells to remember if I glued them in or not,it would seem if bolting the seams the liners must be bolted as well.The car stored for the season.
