Question Plastic Wheel Liners

Well I heard today that when I install my ss/na front and rear bumper that there will be a gap of the wheel liner to the bottom of the bumper cover, because it is lower.. What can I do about this gap that I will have???

Actually thats a factory gap. I swapped to an SS front bumper a few years ago. I attempted to get new liners from my parts department and what they found is they are all the same. I believe the gap is actually there for the SS/SC lower lip to bolt too.

Well just got some info that a body shop is gonna paint the bumpers and side skirts and put them on the car for $1200. Does anybody have a picture of the liner gap on rear and front?

Thats not true. I am a base model with a GT/ss bumper and I was able to purchase the GT fender liners.
