jhm Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 FWIW, I've seen people make their own DIY liners from plastic barrels. Done carefully, they work as well as the stock pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alainburon Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 Thanks, I have not seen that. I tried making them out of 1/16" ABS plastic using a heat gun to shape it but there is just too many changes in direction on some parts of the fender liner and it just buckles and looks terrible not to mentioned does not fit right. I spent 3 days messing with it and just gave up. I think the best way to replicate this may be a 3D printer but who knows what that would cost. Most people just do without them. I want them on my car because I have seen S30 fenders with dents from the inside from a rock being kicked up by the tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhm Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Something like a black plastic 55 gal barrel, or one of those big black plastic drums that trees are potted in for sale....anything with at least a 3-4 ft diameter should have the right curvature.
