Default Help! Can't find flares!

I own a 2002 Chevrolet Blazer LS ZR-2, and I can't find anywhere a set of aftermarket flares! Mine are all faded. Does anyone know someone who could make them? Or just anything! I need help.

For aftermarket flares you'll likely pay around $500. Why not just paint the ones you have? Or better yet, give them to me.

If I get a new set I'll sell these to you $150. Why can't it be as easy as it is to find flares for a Jeep! This is ridiculous.

2002 Chevy S10 Pickup EGR Fender Flares | Truck & SUV Fender Flares | EGR

These fit an 02 s10. So would they fit my blazer?

There is only one place that has aftermarket flares for a ZR2, and that would be Diversified Creations out of Michigan. You will have to do a bit of modification to fit them as they are designed to widen the wheel wells, thus requiring the removal of some sheet metal.

Problem with them, other than price, is they are designed for the S10, not the Blazer. The S10 has more room to play with on the rear than the Blazer. I only know of one person who has successfully got them to work on the rear of a Blazer. The fronts are no problem.

Do yourself and your bank account a favor and repaint your current ones if they are only faded. If they are cracked or broken or missing, try to find another set.

The reason you can find flares for Jeeps are they a dime a dozen. ZR2's are not.

Dangit!! It's a sweet aftermarket flare set too! I just figured that maybe one person out there would've said hey, maybe someone will want a set of riveted flares for their ZR-2 Blazer. Guess not! Well what should I paint them with? I've painted most of my stuff with plasti dip but I'm changing my mind for the flares the plasti dip is a pita to clean. I'd like it to be something I don't need to sand and prime for. Or Should I get flexy flares?
