Default WideBody Guys!

When you got your new widebody kit did it come with new liners that's assuming you even need to liners? If so who makes your kit. Also wouldn't be a Vette thread without pics so feel free to post some if you like.

Mine are Lewis5's and came with liners,have busted out 2 sets though driving Houston streets. I've come to the conclusion that since I don't show my car,I don't need the liners. I'll just clean it up good when I remove my CCW's for their annual cleaning,enjoy the pics. L8R ZFLASH

Those are some good looking rides. My dad had an F100 step side like that when I was little and to this day I think that's the best looking ford truck. Thanks for the info the streets where I'm at are bad to I use to think they were the worst until I drove my Vette back home to San Antonio and I thought to myself I don't remember the streets being that bad and that's because I had a suburban lol.

It's not hard at all, if you have a convertible I would say it's a little more difficult on the passenger side because of this little part the blocks two of the bolts and makes it really tough especially if you have large hands.

If you need a set of liners let me know. I have the pattern and can either cut you a set and send them to you or send you the pattern and you an cut them yourself. I bought a 4'x8' piece of black poly that works great. I have a thread on here. Just search it under my forum name. They work great. Have had no issues with breakage.
