Several people have done this with hand fabricated tubs but there aren't too many photos showing a proven way to tie it all together. Lots of photos and an install video could really help sell these and then the price would come down as more people jump in as was mentioned above.

The install info will come we are planning on doing that next week. Just wanted to get the info out there.
They as with a lot of products will have more than one way to install them and finish the wheel lips, some may want to trim the lip some roll it. Some may want to try and fasten the tub to the fender or not. this part is intended to solve a problem, and save both time and money.
We have to price these parts to help cover development cost, last tally we had 150 hours in these plus mold cost shipping materials ect. We also have to price them to make money (that is the goal right, no profit on NEW parts). We have to include the packaging expense, instructions. that also takes time to do. We have to price them so that our WD's and dealers get the discount level that is agreed to.
I would not expect the price to come down from where it is now. Sorry it is just economics.
Yes some will find them a little pricey but you do need to consider the time involved in building a one off set, now I can't compete with a guy tinkering in his garage on a Tuesday night that puts in 2 hours and it takes him 6 months to finish his inner fender wells. but if you were paying a shop to build your car would you rather pay them 1100.00 or 3500.?? that is the reality of it.
