Most people will be using their eyes and fingers to check out your fender lips - few of them will have calipers, so they probably won't realize how thick the material is.

I glued 3/8" thick closed cell foam to the underside of the fenders to protect from rocks being thrown up by the tires.

CobraJeff - Do you have a picture of the forward fender edge also? What would you say the radius or diameter/thickness of the very outside rolled edge to be on your car? It looks pretty small in your picture but as Bob said, it's hard to get the perspective in a picture.

Thanks
