Good luck on the tub job. The LPE kit in my opinion is too pricey. I think I have a total of $50 invested in my tubbing work.

JC I personally think you are correct on the price thing but the LPE kit is a work of art. The car will look totally factory when finished. I think that is a bonus but it is expensive and if someone is not looking for the fit and finish of the LPE kit then doing it yourself is the way to go. That is not saying a home job will look bad but they won't get a molded englarged inner fender well to finish the job.

I know what you mean on PRICE But did you know they are now only $895 If you really want stock fit and finish it is the way to go IMHO. And hey every dollar I spend it just more of a reason NEVER to sell my car

ZO6MAN-Very well put about both price and stock finish. I am runing Pireli 335x25x19 tires. This tire is about the same diameter as the factory ZO-6 at 26 1/2 inches. The wheel well area is somewhat visable in daylight and I did not want any seams or pop rivet's to show through. A small thing but as the man said, "just more of a reason NEVER to sell my car."

Good observation. I had to sell mine as well after tubs. The good news is that Andy makes one to replace what you had and it will fit tubed, narrower wheel wells. Once you have a partician you cannot be without. Good Luck
