At this point your best bet is to have them custom made if you really want them. Even the original tooling is long gone.
I've got a set of rears that were never mounted and a set of fronts that are mounted to fenders.
There's not really much interest in making tooling and molds from them and even so the market just isn't there and neither is the money.

Thank you for the reply Junior. Not ready to have a set built yet. Gonna take a little time & see if I can find a used set. Am tracking my car frequently & would love to have a wider contact patch. Are you keeping your set thinking of selling? Thanks again for the info.

Unfortunately, I'm not looking to sell them.
I'm in contact with Jeff very often but that's what I meant. He will have to fab them up especially for you (one off) so expect to spend some coin on them.
They originally sold for 1k or better and that was when he had all of the tooling on hand. Now you are probably looking at the cost of remaking all of the tooling plus all of the materials and then the cost and materials to make the parts out of fiberglass or carbon fiber.
After all that you will still need to "cut away" your original sheet metal in order for them to function plus attach the flares and paint to match.
In my opinion, unless a set falls into your lap or you are a bodyman yourself it ends up being too cost prohibitive to accomplish or at least I think there are better things to spend money on...

Thanks Junior & Naf for all the info, help is much appreciated. Your right Junior, cost must considered & at some point a person has to accept that the money could be better spent elsewhere. In the meantime, I'll give it some time & see where this search takes me. Maybe I'll get lucky. Thanks again guys for all insight & information.

sell me the flairs for my track car!! At this point your best bet is to have them custom made if you really want them. Even the original tooling is long gone.
