Default ZR-2 flares on a non ZR-2?

Hello everyone, I've been wondering for the past 7 months, does GM, or any thirdparty manufacturers make the ZR-2 fender flares for a non ZR-2 Blazer?
It's a four door too, but with cutting or the like, could it be made to fit onto my truck? And If it can, can you PLEASE give me a link for chevy parts?

closest thing I know of is bushwacker, Z fenders are only made by gm from what I have seen. As for moding some I think you would have to hack off some of the rear ones to fit the doors (I think that is the problem with switching them?). I dont think it would be fun to make them look right after cutting them , plus their like $350 or so so you would be pretty brave or rich to take the chance.

in my opinion (I could be wrong)

Negative ghostrider.

ZR2s have completely different fenders to accomodate the flares. They have a lip that the flares mount to. You maybe be able to come up wiht a way to mount them, but I doubt they'll look good at all...theyre just not designed for it. The 2nd problem is the rear flares. Look at your rear door where it meets the flare. The door has 80% of the stock 'flare'. So any flare you try to adapt to a 4-door will have to be 2-piece to accomodate the door.

The only company I've seen producing for a 4-door is EGR. Alot of the places that used to carry them have since stopped, so I dont know if EGR quit making them...but heres one site that still has them: 4 DOOR FLARES! WOO!

I still cant justify paying close to 400 bucks for some plastic [&o]

if your just wanting flares you could try cut to fit flares I dont remember who made them but they look alright, didnt cost much from what I remember, and they cover tires (obviousely). unless you just want the look of a Z then you will have to do a little research from the looks of it.

As for the lip on Z fenders I had no idea I cant take my flares off. It came from New Jersey, New York, and Mass. so there is a little rust problem.
