No outty's here.
Kirkham offers the foam padding for the fenders. Uses a typical spray adhesive and is about 1/2" thick.

Any sporting goods store should sell the sleeping bag pad, I'll check Eastern Mountain sports here on the Island, if they have it I'll send it ya...

With all this neoprene and other glue in foam type protection, may retain water but should deflect stones etc!
What I have seen done with some kits is a double skin of fibreglass with a small gap between layers, this will add some weight, and will have to be thick enough to withstand a bit of punishment, and it could also be covered with an average coat of rubberised underseal!

I could get into the area of overkill here, the old KISS principle of keep it simple stupid applies, but I hate paint crazing due to stone damage!

An Update -
TOTH contacted me recently and we came to an agreement on price. The material arrived a few days ago. The 4 pieces were cut to fit my SPF and I installed them per TOTH's directions. It took about an hour per corner. So far (3 days) the material has stayed in place. The material went in nicely and seems to adhere well. I will post an update at the end of the summer.

I used this closed cell soundproofing foam in my plane and I don't see why it wouldn't work as a great wheelwell liner....definitely tough, waterproof and fireproof. It's sold by the linear foot in 48" wide sheets and available in several thicknesses. Of course you would want to make a paper pattern and cut to fit, but it's not a big deal; cuts easily with a utility knife or heavy scissors.

Definitely cheaper (and possibly superior?) to some of the products discussed so far.
