For the same amount, you could buy wheel well liners. They cover the whole wheel well and look way better.

Thats funny. I usually only see the rear ones. The only ones i have seen for the front were just add ons to the original ones. They just clip on or something. Did you just get a body lift?

I bought the first set I had the first time I ever did a body lift. Saw what they were and made my own ever since. Some nice heavy rubber mat material works great.
