I'm looking for a drivers rear fender flare and a drivers fender if I can get one. This was a one year only option. The front fenders are plastic. I think I can repair the fender, but repairing the rear flare is going to be a little more difficult. You'll know it if you see it in a junkyard. White/charcoal grey with the big orange/red stripes is the only combo it came in. Any info would be greatly appreciated. call me on my cell @612-708-8015 Thanks, Brad.

The GM part# for the rear flare is 22501905 if any of you know somebody dealing in NOS parts could help me find one. I know it's probably impossible partly because it's a large piece and they only made 696 of these cars.

Anybody? I know it's rare, let me know if you've ever seen one and if you can remember where and when(city,state& how long ago).

That fender flare could probably be fabricated in fiberglass by a good body man, have you considered that?

Yeah, I may end up doing that anyways. It'll be a little while before I start working on it so hopefully one will turn up before that.

You can make them your self. If your interested I can give instructions on how too.

Andy, how would one go about doing this? Maybe you could give us a quick run down...

I thought about this as well, especially since Brad seems to have one good fender flair while the other is broken. Isn't there a way to use to passenger's side fender flair as a template for the driver's side? They are afterall just mirror images of one another. FWIW, I was also thinking the driver's side fender flair could be reapired with fiberglass filler if someone was "the man."

The best way would be to make a fiberglass mold. The ones that are in good shape would be easy to make ones of. The one that is broken won't be able to use it. You have to take it off. Then use foam in place of the flare, shape it to match. Using a contour gauge to mirror the other side.

You make the mold by using fiberglass resin then the fiber doing it in layers. Once you finished you can use the mold to make the flare. You have to use a wax between the foam and the mold so it doesn't stick and the mold and flare so it doesn't stick.

There are a few more details, but this is the basic idea. The two links below give a little more info not as much as I hoped. I guess if there is any questions I'll try to answer them.
