Waste not want not is a great motto and I think you've done a good job on repurposing the bed liner for your pan and front air dam. But, IMO, I think your trying too hard by trying to use the wheel wells for a kammback. It just doesn't look like the right shape to me to be effective, judging from what others have done. Here's a suggestion (hope you don't mind), why not see if you could use the wheel wells to make some rear wheel covers and maybe something to smooth the air flow around the tires. I suspect you will see more benefit for your effort from that. Building a kammback is a good idea, I just think that the wheel wells are not the best choice for material. Good luck on you project.
