lingenfelter pretty much has the market cornered as far as 'kits' go.
There was another brand in the works but I never heard anything further.
Ive seen alot of people make their own. Its not that difficult if you know how to fiberglass.

We have used the Lingenfelter ones, I have pic's of them on the twin turbo Z06 found in the project car section of my website. They worked out really nice. Bob

may i ask why you need them?
i have a 12" wide rear wheel on my '99 FRC and a 335/35-18 tire - while they do stick out just a tad, i think it looks absolutely killer!
if i wanted/needed to go 345 - then i'd be forced to go with the mini tubs, but i fear they may interfere with my roll cage!

You can use CCW wheels and get wider tires. We sell and install the LPE package. When done correctly, the tub work is hard to tell that it did not come from the factory that way.

that's what i heard - and i wasn't aware of anyone else in AZ that sold the mini tubs.
chad - "roughly" what is the install costs? i hear almost $2K for parts and labor - is this true?
and have you seen any interference problems with a 6 point roll cage?

thanks for all the info, and i need them bcuz im running a iron block 408ci with a 300 shot and since i have the rear out it would make life alot easier if i did them now and be on the safe side if have to go with a huge tire later plus my car is slammed to the ground and i have 295 dr's and the are starting to rub on the inside.

The Lingenfelter ones do indeed look really, really good. Maybe I am biased given the purchase I just did with them, but it honestly when done well looks like the car came stock that way.

The price of tub kit and install is about $2400. When we get done the install looks factory. As far as clearing the roll-bar setup , I would have to take a look at where the connections are to the car and frame.

2" home made mini tub here............wish they sold just the inner liners....they are nice.
No issue with stowing the top, 6 point or stuffin a 345/35/18 or 345/30/18 in there inside the 1/4





With a passenger, full fuel and 300+LBS of stuff in the back I get a rub here on large bumps.dips..........took care of it though, just plastic

That is why those Lingefelter liners would be nice
