Default D2 Rear Wheel Well - Added back portion

Here is a pic from the Rovers North FB page showing ZGPhoto's D2 with an added metal material used to cover a gap in the rear wheel well where the mud flaps came out. I am curious what ZGPhoto used here, and if others have done something similar. I have a gap here as well and mud gets past this up into my rear bumper. I have been planning to do something like this with some thin aluminum or plastic, just looking for some ideas.

That is part of the Greg Davis rear bumper, it is quite thick steel that doesn't bend at all. It comes welded onto the rear quarter protectors.

AH, OK, my BottorF'ed rear bumper could use some of these. I guess I will have to make some up out of something and mount them to the plastic wheel well, so they will need to be light.

Plastic storage tub, cut with tin snips. Barn stall mat, cut off a chunk (thick rubber).

If you want metal just grab some 18 gauge... it will bend easily with a little heat and a vise or a couple of clamps and some flat stock. Im sure you could get the bends you want with a little "engineering" .
