I NEED a set before my car arrives. Clocks ticking buddy! ;)

I would take a set or two- looks very professional and the customer coming into the shop would like to see that extra measure of care. My wife would like me more for not loading up the washing machine with blankets all time:unibrow:

I think its a great idea Tyler. :cheers:
Sign me up for two sets 1st and 2nd gen Camaro. I've been hoping something better would come along.

Would there be any interest in the Lateral-G logo on the covers?

Or would that open up a can of worms?

I caught the picture of Larry's the other day myself and thought how cool it was. I'd be interested in a set. Perhaps trim to fit??? I'm pretty sure Mavericks are not on the list of common applications.

That's my issue. I don't see a big demand for '69 Dart, and observing the Mopar crowd, I don't see many forking over the dough for a set.

When the 3rd gen Nova ones come available....I'm in.

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!
