hey guys i was wondering if i can put a plastic wheel well cover for the back tires to stop water and what ever else from getting up in there and creating rust? how come they have them in the front and not the back, is there a reasion there is not plastic covers in the rear wells??

would front ones fit in the back??

 

there is usually a rubber undercoating on the wells on the back, that for the most part protects the metal part of the wellls from rust corrosion etc

 

ya but what about the lip? u no where the edle of the wheel well curves up and all the crap just sits in there(killer salt!)? the reasion y we get rust on the outer edge of the wheel well it because that lip. i want to put a plastic thing so no rust can get up in the thing.
u no what i mean?? just like the front>y u think the back always gets the rust...

 

If you line the rear wheel wells with plastic, chances are that moisture and salt will still get above it and cause rust. If you drive you car in the winter the best way to prevent rust is to take it to a place like Krown and have it oil sprayed. I got my car sprayed before I put it away for the winter and I got the guy to coat it real good.

Either way you could just use POR-15 on it and not worry about rust anymore but that fender lip is hard to keep nice and clean.

 

The front fenders usually have some form of liner that is removable because the fender itself is.

 

Now you got me started on my inner fender lip in my car... The thing is completed rotted out!!! Mother f**cking GM. What a great design... lol. I wanted to know if i could just rip that whole lip off for good and round it out with my mig welder, sheetmetal, and por15? The lip is coming off and thats with poking it with my finger. I hate rust! By the way, what is thatpuddy-like stuff they use to fill the seems in the rear trunk area? Thats where the majority of my rust buildup is.
