What's the underside gone be lined with? Will they be washable?
Price point will affect sales to the masses, but most shop owners will be willing to pay for the protection.
There's a local guy here in Sac, Auto Fender Bib's or something like that. He just got a product intro in one of the trade rags, HotRod Mag I think. He makes covers out of moving blankets, with some universal options. He has custom built some for us, but I still don't trust them on really nice paint yet, especially black! Also, I worry because they're likely to soak up any oils that accidentally contaminate the topside...... A whole front end cover similar in design to yours is $150?
Also, there's a Canadian company that provides covers with removable backing that is very soft. I forget the name of the manufacturer, but they work GREAT on top-notch paint jobs. They seem like sheepskin (almost) in the underside and resemble most red water & grease proof fender covers on top. We swear by them. I'd be happy to give you more info if you need some info to add to your research. These are pricey, over $100 each for individual fender covers, and more for the bigger ones. They have magnets built into the upper edges that really keep them in place well- they lay over the fender and grip to the inside lip in the engine bay.
Good Luck!
