The only flares I know of are made by Bushwacker and they're made to look like the OEM ZR2 flares

Bushwacker flares will not bolt up to the ZR2 fenders, different lip. Same reason why you can't put ZR2 flares on a non-Z.

The ONLY place that has aftermarket flares is Diversified Creations, but...

you will need to cut sheet metal and they say the only work on the front of the blazers, not on the rear. Something about not enough metal on the rear to cut away and still mount the flares.

Though, there is one person who managed to do it. If you have big time body skills you should be able to make it work.

I'd say be happy with the stock flares as I'm sure there are a few folks that wished they had them.

You can paint them any color you like but there is a color from Duplicolor that matches almost exactly. I just can't think of the name of it offhand. Available at any parts store. You'd probably be better off painting all four, though.
