Rear overfenders?

I'm looking for some very small rear overfenders, not a wide body, maybe just a little flare, I'd like them to cover up the entire wheel well area that is prone to rust and is rusted for me. I don't know which kits offer what, and unfortunately, a lot of the pictures I need to see to make the decision on what to buy, vendors don't have.

Suggestions?

I know corksport has some. If you use the advanced search for "corksport overfenders" in the 2nd gen parts section, you should come up with a thread where someone was selling them. I think he had some pretty good pics of them.

So your solution to rust is to cover it up and ignore it? It'll keep rusting and sooner or later it'll cause much bigger problems than just a little uglyness. Fix it ASAP, or it'll cost you a lot more to fix later on, as the rot will be more extensive and it'll need a lot more work.

There isn't many "mild" rear flares. Really if all you're looking for is to fix the rust...just bang them out to roll the lip a little and patch whereever necessary. You will need to paint it regardless so this way at least the rust will be repaired.

I spent 8 hours removing rust, grinding, hammering, everythinging it. It's the hole leftover I need to eliminate.

In that case I'd get a replacement panel and weld in a patch where the hole is. It needs to be sealed up regardless, overfenders won't seal it from underneath.
