All this guy needs to do is import a set of fender flares from new Zealand & copy them!

If they are real clever, they may even find out who manufactured them for GM.

By the way, the one's on my truck came stock on UK & Jap exports. These RHD trucks were all built at the Linden plant in New Jersey. So there must be a company, local to the plant - I'd guess, who may still have the moulds to make them.

I'm betting those molds are long gone. Most companies require when the contract is up to destroy them so aftermarket doesn't get ahold of them.

Its not that hard, just gotta have the skills to build fiberglass molds off a set of fenders and a large enough vacuum table to mold them. My homemade table isn't powerful enough (yes I've tried).

What is a set of 4 door flares worth. I know someone that has a brand new set for a 4 door he wants $600. Never installed. May have some small scratches from packaging and sitting on the shelf for years.

No go for that. He said pickup flares sell for 400 new. 4 door discontinued and everyone wants. He is asking 600
