Some time ago someone had posted a link on ebay on some material that came in a roll that would be a good candidate for custom wheel well fab. Can't seem to find it now. Anyone? Thanks.

Believe it or not i actually use an old wheel well liner from trucks at pick and pull, just trim to fit they are cheap and works great. The reason i use from trucks is because they are bigger and cover the lambo wheel wells better ::thumbup hope that helps.

I found it. I'm just using Rubbermaid cans though for mine.

Late model Corvettes have a nice wolven plastic wheel house liners. The material is like a cloth, they are very nice! I will be using late model Corvette wheel house liners.

this is this the stuff I used (black) - http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-10-ft-Roll-of-Airdam-Body-Extension-Plastic-Black-/131252949232?pt=Race_Car_Parts&hash=item1e8f4910f0&vxp=mtr (http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-10-ft-Roll-of-Airdam-Body-Extension-Plastic-Black-/131252949232?pt=Race_Car_Parts&hash=item1e8f4910f0&vxp=mtr) but I got it at my local speed shop. I works real good if you use a heat gun and mold it....
Nevermind I see you found it...

Hey Tony, how did you like the way it turned out? Was 10ft enough for you?

Just another of my .02 cents, i found a great way to enclose / cover the entire bottom front end of a Diablo or Murci is to use an old truck bedliner from pick and pull is $10 bucks and cut it to the shape of the front end of your car and screw/mount it underneath it will butt up against your wheel wells and looks great, gives great airflow thru your front scoops and also no one can visibly look thru your front scoops and see the ground. I put red LED lights inside the air scoop area so the car glows red from the scoops at night. Looks very nice and is easy and cheap.

The plastic stuff worked great, one roll was enough to do the front 2 fenderwells. I used something else for the rears but I wish I had used the plastic for the rears...

That's cool bro, I just went on with the regular fog lights, oem style

Hey guys I just wanted to do a follow on from Randy's idea, I went to my local wreckers and came across some really good wheel liners from the front ends of a late 90's firebird and camaro for $8 bucks each, the 2 fronts L&R from each car, and just with little modifying they worked out just fine for diablo, may even work for other lambos too! just wanted to share.

Excellent tip and thank you for sharing Sam!
