Thats nuts, I was looking at some old threads at mazdarepu.com

and there was a guy on there that payed $300 for one.

Why not just get a cheap fiberglass replica?

Seems easy enough to make.

**** why not make one out of alluminum sheeting?

Scalliwag asked the same question and it is just not the highest priority on everyone's list.

Yea I can see that. I wouldnt be terribly concerned with it.

I just saw so much talk about them I was wondering what they were.

well.. the problem with having a replica made was that no one had a good enough valance to be used for a mold.. or whoever did would not loan it.. I old Dan I would be up for two of them.. I am also tryin to convince one of the other guys to get molds made from his fenders.
